Raushni ban ke andhere pe asar humne kiya

raushni ban ke andhere pe asar hum ne kiya
dasht-e-tanhai se kya KHub guzar hum ne kiya

bandish-e-hijr ko toDa nahin tu ne aa kar
yaad kya tujh ko nahin sham o sahar hum ne kiya

ek bayaban bhi mila muntazir-e-nur-e-azal
dil ki virani ko jab pesh-e-nazar hum ne kiya

aur kuchh ho na saka surat-e-darman lekin
apna daman to sar-e-dida-e-tar hum ne kiya

dard ke mare hue log the KHwabon ke qarib
kaise nadida zamanon ka safar hum ne kiya

hum ne dekha hai wahan phir bhi ujala 'rashid'
sath rahte hue sab ke jahan ghar hum ne kiya
