Riyaz Khairabadi
gulon ke parde men shaklen hain mah-jabinon ki
ye daliyan hain ki hain doliyan hasinon ki
ye astinen nahin hain chuni hui zalim
balaen li hain nigahon se astinon ki
kisi ke jalve sar-e-arsh chhup nahin sakte
ki duur rasan hain nigahen buland binon ki
pas-e-fana bhi na khali rahen ye qasr-e-rafia
na hon makin to qabren rahen makinon ki
kis intiha ki nazakat hai mere sheron men
nazar lage na kahin un ko nukta-chinon ki
jo niind aae to yuun aae maut aae to yuun
hamare samne shaklen hon mah-jabinon ki
ham apne mulk-e-sukhan ko vasia karte hain
hamen talash hai har-dam nai zaminon ki
unhen gharaz miri baten khade khade sun len
sunenge baith ke vo apne ham-nashinon ki
kahan vo chandni raten vo chand ke tukde
na ab vo ham hain na shaklen hain mah-jabinon ki
utarte hain nae mazmun jo asman se ‘riyaz’
talash rahti hai ham ko nai zaminon ki
