yahi qusur tha us but ki aarzu ki thi
mila wahi na kabhi jis ki justuju ki thi

ba-rang-e-ghuncha zaban band hai ab tak meri
wo baat kab ki hai jab gul se guftugu ki thi

girin wahin pe zamane ki bijliyan aakhir
jahan bina-e-gulistan-e-rang-o-bu ki thi

hamein mitane ke darpe hua hai kyon aakhir
zamane hum ne teri ham-nawai khu ki thi

ghubar udta hai hum ne jahan pe yaron mein
maze udae the aur mil ke ha-o-hu ki thi

samajh ke us ko bhi gham-khwar-o-ham-nawa 'rizwan'
hadis-e-dil kisi dilbar ke ru-ba-ru ki thi
