yaadon ki diwar giraata rahta hun
main pani se aankh bachata rahta hun

sahil pe kuchh der akele hota hun
phir dariya se hath milata rahta hun

yaadon ki barsat to hoti rahti hai
main aankhon se khwab giraata rahta hun

'sahir' ki har nazm suna kar majnun ko
main sahra ka dard badhata rahta hun

duniya wale mujh ko pagal kahte hain
main suraj se aankh milata rahta hun

patthar-watthar mujh se nafrat karte hain
main andhon ko rah dikhata rahta hun

mere pichhe qais ki aankhen pad gai hain
dariya dariya pyas bujhata rahta hun

mujh ko dasht-e-sukut sadaen deta hai
sahra sahra khak udata rahta hun

mujh ko mere nam se jaana jata hai
main 'rizwi' ka dhong rachata rahta hun
