Woh mujhse pooche kaun hu mai,
Jo poora na ho, woh khwab hu mai,
Raddi mai padi poorani kitaab hu mai,
Kitabo mai bhoola hua gulaab hu mai,
Naa mile kabhi woh sabaab hu mai,
Mehfil se guzar jau to zikra hu mai,
Mehfil mai tham jau to fikra hu mai,
Jo mila na kabhi woh kinara hu mai,
Jo smjh na aaye woh ishara hu mai,
Shayr ka adhoora kalaam u mai,
Salamat na rehne wala salaam hu mai,
Na mile kabhi woh samman hu mai,
Naa zinda hu, naa shamshaan hu mai,
Naa smjhoge mujhko aisa kirdar hu mai,
Naa virodhi hu, na wafadar hu mai,
Maikhane mei thokar khata pyal hu mai,
Naa aaunga kabhi woh khyal hu mai,
Do pal ka vishwas to karlo mujhpar,
Kal ko palat jau woh sailaab hu mai. - Raza Nawab
