Rida Us Chaman Ki Uda Le Gai

Rida us chaman ki uda le gai,
Darakhto'n ke patte hawa le gai,

Jo harf apne dil ke thhikano'n mein the,
Bahut door un ko sada le gai,

Chala main sauubat se pur raah par,
Jahaan tak mujhe inteha le gai,

Gayi jis ghadi shaam-e-sahr-e-wafa,
Manaazir se ek rang sa le gai,

Nishaan ek puraana kinaare pe tha,
Use mauj-e-dariya baha le gai,

'Muneer' itna husn us zamaane mein tha,
Kahaan us ko koi balaa le gai.!!

"Muneer Niyazi"
