us shokh ko apna karne ka be-samjhe na arman kar lena
bhule se kabhi aisa sauda mat ai dil-e-nadan kar lena

anjam-e-mohabbat kya hoga aaghaz mein is ka dhyan rahe
dariya mein utarne se pahle andaza-e-tufan kar lena

zahir mein talluq lakh rahe ho sakti nahin hai yak-jehti
dil dena kisi kafir ko agar to pahle musalman kar lena

hai zabt-e-alam mein poshida mearaj-e-taraqqi ka zina
tum sabr-o-tahammul se apni mushkil ko bhi aasan kar lena

ek roz yahan se jaana hai ye baat hamesha yaad rahe
saman-e-safar kuchh kar lena kuchh kar-e-numayan kar lena

sunta hun 'riyaz' is duniya mein ek roz shafaq ki shohrat thi
un jaise muazziz logon ka tum khud ko sana-khwan kar lena
