ummid-e-shauq ho ya wada-e-rahat-fiza koi
mariz-e-ishq ko achchha nahin karti dawa koi
bhari duniya mein apne bhi hain begane bhi hain lekin
nahin hamdard ab mera tere gham ke siwa koi
purana ho gaya hai zikr-e-tauba chhoDiye saqi
purani ho to la koi rakha koi pila koi
mujhe ye arz karni hai tumhaari be-niyazi se
tumhaari aarzu ke baad kaisa muddaa koi
ye apni apni aadat hai ye apni apni fitrat hai
koi hai banda-e-mehr-o-wafa to be-wafa koi
zamane ki nigahon mein gunahgar-e-wafa hum hain
na jaane kyun nahin hota hamara faisla koi
ye dil aTke ka sauda hai ye dil aaega qissa hai
mohabbat ki nigahon mein nahin achchha bura koi
sama kar dil mein parda hai nigah-e-shauq se yani
KHud apne aap se chhupta hai ab kafir-ada koi
'rishi' hum har kisi se haal dil ka kah nahin sakte
baDi mushkil se milta hai kahin dard-ashna koi
Ghazal
Ummid-e-shauq ho ya wada-e-rahat-fiza koi
