Jo mujhe marghub ho wo sogwari chahiye

jo mujhe marghub ho wo sogwari chahiye
mere soyam mein tumhein poshak bhaari chahiye

taza ho bagh-e-tamanna aabiyari chahiye
aaj to ai chashm-e-tar kuchh ashk-bari chahiye

jab bahaar aae to kab parhez-gari chahiye
sal-bhar mein chaar din to baada-KHwari chahiye

dil jigar se jab main kahta hun nahin aaega yar
kahte hain kuchh der to aur intizari chahiye

hon hawas-o-hosh agar baqi to kya lutf-e-junun
dil na qabu mein ho wo be-aKHtyari chahiye

ras aae tum ko mulk-e-ishq ki aab-o-hawa
aashiqo har-waqt shaghl-e-ah-o-zari chahiye

wasl ki shab hai wo pahlu mein hain to sone na de
han mere dil ab ziyaada be-qarari chahiye

maut bekar aati hai marna hamara hai muhaal
aap ki talwar ka ek zaKHm kari chahiye

rote rote mar gae hain jo firaq-e-yar mein
un ko bahr-e-ghusl mayyat aab-e-jari chahiye

sikhi un se dilrubai aa gai fasl-e-shabab
aaj-kal dil ki taraf se hoshiyari chahiye

sar na uTThe teri chaukhaT se na kuche se qadam
tauq bhaari chahiye zanjir bhaari chahiye

ho ziyaada raushni aur der tak baqi rahe
meri sham-e-ruh ko mahfil tumhaari chahiye

aap ke lao-niam ne turfa dikhlaya tilism
na-umidi kahti hai ummid-wari chahiye

tere chehre ke muqabil ho agar to is tarah
aaftab-e-hashr ko aaina-dari chahiye

ye tumhaari ja nahin aankhon ke wa se hain ye dar
dil mein dun tum ko jagah ye parda-dari chahiye

baKHsh deta hai 'rashid' allah itni baat par
kar ke isyan aadmi ko sharmsari chahiye
