jawani mai-e-arghawani se achchhi
javānī mai-e-arġhavānī se achchhī
mai-e-arġhavānī javānī se achchhī
baqā jis meñ ho shai vo faanī se achchhī
hameñ maut us zindagānī se achchhī
javānī ho achchhī sī achchhī kisī kī
na hogī tumhārī javānī se achchhī
ye mai shaiḳh ko nār-e-dozaḳh se baḌh kar
ye mai ham ko jannat ke paanī se achchhī
hamesha ko ab ho ga.ī aañkh muusā
sadā hogī kyā lan-tarānī se achchhī
agar pāsbānī mile tere dar kī
to ḳhidmat nahīñ pāsbānī se achchhī
milā TuuT kar ham ne tauba jo toḌī
nibhī chand din shaiḳh faanī se achchhī
nishāna bane dil rahe tiir dil meñ
nishānī nahīñ is nishānī se achchhī
tirī ḳhush-bayānī kā kyā zikr vaa.iz
ḳhamoshī tirī ḳhush-bayānī se achchhī
javānī to guzrī buḌhāpe se bad-tar
guzar jaa.e piirī javānī se achchhī
jo ulfat meñ hāsil huiiñ qais tujh ko
ye nākāmiyāñ kāmrānī se achchhī
'riyāz' aa raho tum jo sāhir ke dar par
rahe maut bhī zindagānī se achchhī
jawani mai-e-arghawani se achchhi
mai-e-arghawani jawani se achchhi
baqa jis mein ho shai wo fani se achchhi
hamein maut us zindagani se achchhi
jawani ho achchhi si achchhi kisi ki
na hogi tumhaari jawani se achchhi
ye mai shaiKH ko nar-e-dozaKH se baDh kar
ye mai hum ko jannat ke pani se achchhi
hamesha ko ab ho gai aankh musa
sada hogi kya lan-tarani se achchhi
agar pasbani mile tere dar ki
to KHidmat nahin pasbani se achchhi
mila TuT kar hum ne tauba jo toDi
nibhi chand din shaiKH fani se achchhi
nishana bane dil rahe tir dil mein
nishani nahin is nishani se achchhi
teri KHush-bayani ka kya zikr waiz
KHamoshi teri KHush-bayani se achchhi
jawani to guzri buDhape se bad-tar
guzar jae piri jawani se achchhi
jo ulfat mein hasil huin qais tujh ko
ye nakaamiyan kaamrani se achchhi
'riyaz' aa raho tum jo sahir ke dar par
rahe maut bhi zindagani se achchhi
