makan dekhe makin dekhe la-makan dekha
makān dekhe makīñ dekhe lā-makāñ dekhā
kahāñ kahāñ tujhe DhūñDā kahāñ kahāñ dekhā
zarā jo ham ne unheñ aaj mehrbāñ dekhā
na ham se pūchhiye kyā rañg-e-āsmāñ dekhā
na pahuñche bām-e-qafas tak kabhī mire naale
vo barq hogī jise gard-e-āshiyāñ dekhā
jhukā jhukā hai to haañ gir paḌe mire sar par
yahī na yaas se thā sū-e-asmāñ dekhā
bahut se riñd bhī dekhe bahut se zāhid bhī
unheñ to piir hamesha inheñ javāñ dekhā
ab ārzūeñ bar aa.iiñ ki ḳhaak meñ mil jaa.eñ
ḳhudā ne din ye dikhāyā unheñ javāñ dekhā
ye jānte haiñ ki dil ḳhaak ho gayā jal kar
na aag dekhī na uThte hue dhuāñ dekhā
bahut hī ro.e gale mil ke ek ek se ham
luTā huā jo koī ham ne kārvāñ dekhā
qafas meñ roke sitam tere dekh leñ sayyād
chaman meñ rah ke bahut lutf-e-bāġhbāñ dekhā
'riyāz' ḳhāk-e-dar-e-mai-kada thā jīte-jī
fanā ke ba.ad use ḳhuld-āshiyāñ dekhā
makan dekhe makin dekhe la-makan dekha
kahan kahan tujhe DhunDa kahan kahan dekha
zara jo hum ne unhen aaj mehrban dekha
na hum se puchhiye kya rang-e-asman dekha
na pahunche baam-e-qafas tak kabhi mere nale
wo barq hogi jise gard-e-ashiyan dekha
jhuka jhuka hai to han gir paDe mere sar par
yahi na yas se tha su-e-asman dekha
bahut se rind bhi dekhe bahut se zahid bhi
unhen to pir hamesha inhen jawan dekha
ab aarzuen bar aain ki KHak mein mil jaen
KHuda ne din ye dikhaya unhen jawan dekha
ye jaante hain ki dil KHak ho gaya jal kar
na aag dekhi na uThte hue dhuan dekha
bahut hi roe gale mil ke ek ek se hum
luTa hua jo koi hum ne karwan dekha
qafas mein roke sitam tere dekh len sayyaad
chaman mein rah ke bahut lutf-e-baghban dekha
'riyaz' KHak-e-dar-e-mai-kada tha jite-ji
fana ke baad use KHuld-ashiyan dekha
