meri bayaz-e-sher pe wo nam likh gaya

merī bayāz-e-sher pe vo naam likh gayā

ik ḳhvāb aur ek hasīñ shaam likh gayā

dil us ko DhūñDhtā hai usī kī talāsh hai

chupke se ik duā jo mire naam likh gayā

phir us se kab ho merī mulāqāt dekhiye

āġhāz hī meñ jo mirā anjām likh gayā

jaltī zamīñ pe maiñ hī khaḌā thā koī na thā

jhoñkā havā kā aayā to sau naam likh gayā

ḳhushbū thā vo ki ek na.ī rut nayā samāñ

chupke se mere naam jo ye shaam likh gayā

vo mujh se chhīn kar mirī bīnā.iyāñ tamām

patthar kā kaisā shahr mire naam likh gayā

ḳhud apnī aag hī meñ jalā huuñ magar 'ra.īs'

sab ke liye mahaktī huī shaam likh gayā

meri bayaz-e-sher pe wo nam likh gaya

ek KHwab aur ek hasin sham likh gaya

dil us ko DhunDhta hai usi ki talash hai

chupke se ek dua jo mere nam likh gaya

phir us se kab ho meri mulaqat dekhiye

aaghaz hi mein jo mera anjam likh gaya

jalti zamin pe main hi khaDa tha koi na tha

jhonka hawa ka aaya to sau nam likh gaya

KHushbu tha wo ki ek nai rut naya saman

chupke se mere nam jo ye sham likh gaya

wo mujh se chhin kar meri binaiyan tamam

patthar ka kaisa shahr mere nam likh gaya

KHud apni aag hi mein jala hun magar 'rais'

sab ke liye mahakti hui sham likh gaya
