Dekhi hai Khalish mai.n ne ki tahzib ki ye shaam
Girti hui diwar hai par Dhaai kahaaN hai
دیکھی ہے خلش میں نے کہ تہذیب کی یہ شام
گرتی ہوئی دیوار ہے پر ڈھائی کہاں ہے
گرتی ہوئی دیوار ہے پر ڈھائی کہاں ہے
Syed Raoof, who wrote with the penname Raoof 'Khalish' had begun writing in the early 1960s. He instantly got attention from literary circles. His works were published in most of the major literary magazines of the era.
Khalish didn't regularly attend mushairas and even in later years his verses weren't seen in journals much, but he remained active as a poet. Though remembered more for his ghazals, 'Khalish' penned Nazms too.
The veteran writer had several collections of poetry to his name including Nai Ruton Ka Safar, Sahra Sahra Ajnabi, Shaakh-e-Ziatoon and Shaakhsaana. Two of his sons are also well-known in literary world. While Moazzam Raaz is an acclaimed poet, Syed Mukarram Niaz focuses more on prose. Sample a few of Khalish's couplets:
Kitni sadiyo.n se lamho.n ka loban jalta raha
Umr ka silsilah saans ban kar pighalta raha

کتنی صدیوں سے لمحوں کا لوبان جلتا رہا
عمر کا سلسلہ سانس بن کر پگھلتا رہا
عمر کا سلسلہ سانس بن کر پگھلتا رہا

Kirchiyaa.n ban ke shikanjo.n se nikalta dekhoo.n
Karb ki aanch mein ek nasl ko jalta dekhoo.n
کرچیاں بن کے شکنجوں سے نکلتا دیکھوں
کرب کی آنچ میں اک نسل کو جلتا دیکھوں
کرب کی آنچ میں اک نسل کو جلتا دیکھوں

Jitne mehmaa.n the sab mezbaa.n ban gaye
Apne ghar mei.n hai.n ham ajnabi ki tarah
Jitne mehmaa.n the sab mezbaa.n ban gaye
Apne ghar mei.n hai.n ham ajnabi ki tarah
جتنے مہمان تھے سب میزبان بن گئے
اپنے گھر میں ہیں ہم اجنبی کی طرح
اپنے گھر میں ہیں ہم اجنبی کی طرح
