ye baat teri chashm-e-fusun-kar hi samjhe
sahra bhi nazar aae to gulzar hi samjhe

ek baat jise sun ke haya aae chaman ko
ek baat jise nargis-e-bimar hi samjhe

is tarah dukan dil ki sajaun ki zamana
dekhe to use misr ka bazar hi samjhe

kya sham-o-sahar us ki hai kya us ke shab-o-roz
duniya ko bhi jo kakul-o-rukhsar hi samjhe

kahta hi raha dil ki ye sahra-e-junun hai
hum the ki use saya-e-diwar hi samjhe

wo bhi to chaman zad the jo shakh-e-chaman ko
gardan pe latakti hui talwar hi samjhe

har chand tha daman mein liye wusat-e-kaunain
is dil ko magar nuqta-e-parkar hi samjhe

zahid ko bhala kab thi yahan fursat-e-tafhim
rahmat ko teri tere gunahgar hi samjhe

wo haal 'raza' tum ne bana rakkha hai dil ka
dekhe jo koi ishq ka aazar hi samjhe
