ye kafir but jinhen dawa hai duniya mein KHudai ka

ye kafir but jinhen dawa hai duniya mein khudai ka
milen mahshar mein mujh aasi ko sadqa kibriyai ka
ye mujh se sakht-jaan par shauq khanjar-azmai ka
khuda-hafiz mere qatil teri nazuk kalai ka


na ho pahlu mein mere dil to koi baat kyun puchhe
yahi to ek zariya hai hasinon tak rasai ka
tum achchhe ghair achchha ghair ki taqdir bhi achchhi
ye aakhir zikr kyun hai meri qismat ki burai ka


wo kya soenge ghafil ho ke shab bhar mare pahlu mein
unhen ye fikr hai nikle koi pahlu ladai ka
hazaron dida-o-dil-e-baam lakhon tur se badh kar
karodon jalwa-gahen shauq to ho khud-numai ka


qafas mein ab kahan wo imbisat-e-subh-e-azadi
chaman tak lutf tha sayyaad meri khush-nawai ka
ishaare par tere chal kar ye lae rang mushkil hai
abhi mohtaj hai khanjar tere dast-e-hinai ka


koi kya jae jannat mein ki us ne tul khincha hai
qayamat par bhi saya pad gaya roz-e-judai ka
wo din bhi aae hum hon aur galiyan hon madine ki
gadayana sada ho hath mein kasa gadai ka


banai kya buri gat mai-kade mein baada-noshon ne
'riyaz' aae the kal jama pahan kar parsai ka
