ik dam ke vaaste na kiyaa kyaa kyaa ai 'razaa' — Raza Azimabadi

sunte to the 'razaa' hain sab hain baDe musalmaan
par kufr mein ziyaada nikle vo barahman se

dekhi thi ek raat tiri zulf khvaab mein
phir jab talak jiyaa main pareshaan hi rahaa

imaarat dair o masjid ki bani hai iinT o patthar se
dil-e-viraana ki kis chiiz se taamir hoti hai

kaabe mein shaikh mujh ko samjhe zalil lekin
sau shukr mai-kade mein hai e'tibaar apnaa

kab alam aur hasratein apni kahein ai dostaan
raat ko bulbul hain ham aur din ko parvaane hain ham

khushaa ho kar butaan kab aashiqon ko yaad karte hain
'razaa' hairaan huun main kis baat par hai utnaa bholaa tu
