Agar gul ki koi pati jhaDi hai

agar gul ki koi pati jhaDi hai
to sau sau bar bulbul gir paDi hai

nazar kya jae su-e-shisha-o-jam
hamari aankh saqi se laDi hai

ye hai josh-e-bahaar un ke chaman mein
ki har ek shaKH phulon ki chhaDi hai

suni rifat sulaiman ki to bole
hamari ek anguThi gir paDi hai

tumhaari zulf se kam hai shab-e-hijr
magar roz-e-qayamat se baDi hai

ek aane ka hai ek jaane ka hangam
ye qissa zindagi ka do-ghaDi hai

nahin haTti tumhaare chehre se zulf
ye shayad bosa lene par aDi hai

hazaron dagh lakhon hasraten hain
hamare dil ki bhi basti baDi hai

hua kya jild-e-KHak apna tan-e-zar
jahan hum the wahan miTTi paDi hai

mare hain dar pe hum wo puchhte hain
ye kis ki lash raste mein paDi hai

jo dekhi hai nigah-e-mast-e-saqi
to bijli laDkhaDa ke gir paDi hai

jo apna mal hoga KHair hoga
'rashid' ab to hamein dil ki paDi hai
