zarur panw mein apne hina wo mal ke chale
na pahunche aaj bhi ghar tak mere wo kal ke chale

ye dosti hai ki hai sath aag pani ka
jo nikli aah to sath ashk bhi nikal ke chale

lahad se lai qayamat hai panw pad pad kar
thahar thahar ke chale hum machal machal ke chale

hazaron thokaren har ek qadam par us mein hain
ye rah-e-ishq hai kyun kar koi sambhal ke chale

ye mujh ko wasl ki shab hae maut kyun aai
hina laga ke jo aae the hath mal ke chale

tumhaari rah mein chalne ki hai khushi aisi
ki sath naqsh-e-qadam bhi uchhal uchhal ke chale

maza to aae jo len rind badh ke hathon-hath
maza to aae kahin se jo mai ubal ke chale

ada se naz se chalna qayamat un ka tha
jo mal ke dil ko kaleje masal masal ke chale

chale wo shama jalane mazar par kis ke
ki sath sath adu aag ho ke jal ke chale

tumhaare gesu-e-pur-pech ne liya hum ko
ki munh mein sanp ke ya munh mein hum ajal ke chale

utha janaza to boli ye khana-bardari
naya makan hai kapde nae badal ke chale

hazaron dagh hain dil mein jigar mein lakhon zakhm
'riyaz' mahfil-e-khuban se phul-phal ke chale
