Ram Riyaz
zindan men bhi vahi lab-o-ruḳhsar dekhte
darvaza dekhte kabhi divar dekhte
pasti-nashin ho ke main kitna buland tha
gardan jhuka ke tum mira me.aar dekhte
sab dauḌte the us ki ayadat ke vaste
jis ko zara sa niind se bedar dekhte
dil baiThne lage to nigahen bhi thak ga.iin
kab tak tiri taraf tire bimar dekhte
kis darja aane vaale zamane ka ḳhauf tha
bajta gajar to shaam ke asar dekhte
ab kya kahen vo ajnabi kaisa tha ham jise
ankhon pe haath rakh ke bhi lachar dekhte
tere siva bhi kuchh nazar aana muhal tha
duniya ko dekhte ki tera pyaar dekhte
na-ashna hain ‘ram’ jo ghurbat ke naam se
vo kaash mere daur ke fankar dekhte
