Niyaz-E-Ishq Hai Naz-E-Butan Hai

Raees Niyazi

niyaz-e-ishq hai naz-e-butan hai

mohabbat ka.enat-e-do-jahan hai

hijabat-e-ta.ayyun uTh rahe hain

nigah-e-shauq tera imtihan hai

masarrat bhi baḌi ne.amat hai lekin

tire gham se mujhe fursat kahan hai

na rahbar hai na jaada hai na manzil

nigahon men ghubar-e-karvan hai

tire naqsh-e-qadam par chal raha huun

ḳhuda jaane miri manzil kahan hai

mira zauq-e-siyah-kari na puchho

tumhare hi karam ka imtihan hai

yahi shayad hai takmil-e-tasavvur

mujhe ḳhud par bhi ab un ka guman hai

tum apne gham ki azmat mujh se puchho

tumhara gham hayat-e-javidan hai

ye duniya hai ‘ra.is’-e-soḳhta-jan

yahan har gaam par ik imtihan hai
