soz-e-dil sham-e-tapan ho jaise
aag chulhe mein nihan ho jaise

kaisi afsurda bahaar aai hai
ab bhi gulshan mein khizan ho jaise

mujh pe mahfil mein tabassum ki nazar
ba-tufail-e-digran ho jaise

aap ki chashm-e-inayat ka yaqin
dil-fareb ek guman ho jaise

yun wo sunte hain kahani meri
ek hadis-e-digran ho jaise

chaunk uthe hum to qayamat hogi
zindagi khwab-e-giran ho jaise

dil se ek aah to nikli thi magar
sham-e-kushta ka dhuan ho jaise

samne un ke ye aalam hai 'raza'
ek aalam nigaran ho jaise
