Ye bhi nahin ki un se mohabbat nahin rahi

ye bhi nahin ki un se mohabbat nahin rahi
ye bhi hai sach ki did ki hasrat nahin rahi

dil un ki is ada se bhi manus ho gaya
ab jaur-e-be-ruKHi ki shikayat nahin rahi

donon badalte waqt ke sanche mein Dhal gae
wo dil nahin raha wo tabiat nahin rahi

kya dekhte hain dekh ke pesh-e-nazar unhen
goya nigah mein did ki taqat nahin rahi

ab KHwab hi mein un se mulaqat ho to ho
milne ki un ki aur to surat nahin rahi

jab kuchh na the KHayal tha nam-o-numud ka
ab kuchh hue to KHwahish-e-shohrat nahin rahi

sad-haif zarf walwala-e-dil ke bawajud
pahli si wo jasarat-o-jurat nahin rahi

insaniyat ke nam ka charcha to hai magar
insaniyat amal se ibarat nahin rahi

dekh ai 'rishi' kamal-e-fusun-e-jadidiyat
ab ehtiram-e-fan ki zarurat nahin rahi
