'rais' hum jo su-e-kucha-e-habib chale
hamare sath hazaron bala-nasib chale

rafaqaton ki saadat liye rafiq aae
raqabaton ki nahusat liye raqib chale

jo qafile ki hamari talab mein nikle the
kabhi baid se guzre kabhi qarib chale

aqab mein hadisa-e-subh-o-sham ke ifrit
jilau mein gardish-e-ayyam ke naqib chale

jahan ko jin ke nasibe pe rashk aata tha
nikal ke apne gharon se wo bad-nasib chale

ye chal-chalaw ajib-o-gharib tha ai dost
gharib log su-e-alam-e-ajib chale
