unhin ke kaam ilahi mera lahu aae
unhīñ ke kaam ilāhī mirā lahū aa.e
rañgeñ jo haath lahū meñ hinā kī bū aa.e
marīz hosh meñ aa.e na aa.e tū aa.e
jo tū na aa.e tire gesuoñ kī bū aa.e
itāb-e-yār kā is ke sivā javāb na thā
ham aa.e to liye ā.īna rū-ba-rū aa.e
na pī zabān se merā bhī zikr kar denā
kalīm-e-tūr par un se jo guftugū aa.e
na jhuuT bol ki ham shaam se kal ā.eñge
na khā qasam are jhūTī kabhī jo tū aa.e
namāz hogī adā duḳht-e-raz ke dāman par
hamārī bazm meñ jo aa.e bā-vazū aa.e
talab kiye kabhī ham ne agar pas-e-tauba
bahut bhare hue ham se ḳhum-o-subū aa.e
utarne vaale abhī tak na baam se utre
taḌapne vaale taḌap kar falak ko chhū aa.e
garāñ dimāġh vo haiñ bū-e-gul kī tezī se
nasīm kah de zarā halkī ho ke bū aa.e
nisār vasl kī rāteñ us ek saa.at par
ham intizār meñ tere hoñ aur tū aa.e
ye jānte haiñ ki niklā huā hai naam us kā
hasīn hashr meñ kyuuñ mere rū-ba-rū aa.e
khule jo koī to khul kar kisī se bāteñ hoñ
uThe hijāb to kuchh lutf-e-guftugū aa.e
dilā.e yaad jo va.ade to bole jhuñjhlā kar
ye aur hashr meñ lene ko aabrū aa.e
kabhī kī pī huī kaam aa.e aaj hashr ke din
ḳhudā ke sāmne mai-nosh surḳh-rū aa.e
'riyāz' thī jo muqaddar meñ bāz-gasht-e-shabāb
javān hone ko piirī meñ lucknow aa.e
unhin ke kaam ilahi mera lahu aae
rangen jo hath lahu mein hina ki bu aae
mariz hosh mein aae na aae tu aae
jo tu na aae tere gesuon ki bu aae
itab-e-yar ka is ke siwa jawab na tha
hum aae to liye aaina ru-ba-ru aae
na pi zaban se mera bhi zikr kar dena
kalim-e-tur par un se jo guftugu aae
na jhuT bol ki hum sham se kal aaenge
na kha qasam are jhuTi kabhi jo tu aae
namaz hogi ada duKHt-e-raz ke daman par
hamari bazm mein jo aae ba-wazu aae
talab kiye kabhi hum ne agar pas-e-tauba
bahut bhare hue hum se KHum-o-subu aae
utarne wale abhi tak na baam se utre
taDapne wale taDap kar falak ko chhu aae
garan dimagh wo hain bu-e-gul ki tezi se
nasim kah de zara halki ho ke bu aae
nisar wasl ki raaten us ek saat par
hum intizar mein tere hon aur tu aae
ye jaante hain ki nikla hua hai nam us ka
hasin hashr mein kyun mere ru-ba-ru aae
khule jo koi to khul kar kisi se baaten hon
uThe hijab to kuchh lutf-e-guftugu aae
dilae yaad jo wade to bole jhunjhla kar
ye aur hashr mein lene ko aabru aae
kabhi ki pi hui kaam aae aaj hashr ke din
KHuda ke samne mai-nosh surKH-ru aae
'riyaz' thi jo muqaddar mein baz-gasht-e-shabab
jawan hone ko piri mein lucknow aae
