nishan qafla-dar-qafla rahega mera
jahan hai gard-e-safar silsila rahega mera
mujhe na tu ne meri zindagi guzarne di
zamane tujh se hamesha gila rahega mera
siyah dilon mein sitaron ki fasl ugane ko
hunar charagh ki lau se mila rahega mera
ujaDte waqt se barbaad hoti duniya se
tere sabab se talluq dila rahega mera
na guftugu se ye larzish guman ki jaegi
agar asas ka patthar hila rahega mera
ye soch kar kabhi aks us kiran ka utra tha
is aaina mein sada dil khila rahega mera
'riyaz' chup se baDhe aur dukh zarurat ke
mujhe tha zom ye ghao sila rahega mera
Ghazal
Nishan qafla-dar-qafla rahega mera
