dasht-paimai ka gar qasd mukarrar hoga
har sar-e-khar pae-abla nashtar hoga

mai-kade se tera diwana jo bahar hoga
ek mein shisha aur ek hath mein saghar hoga

halqa-e-chashm-e-sanam likh ke ye kahta hai qalam
bas ki markaz se qadam apna na bahar hoga

dil na dena kabhi in sang-dilon ko yaro
chur howega jo shisha tah-e-patthar hoga

dekh leta wo agar rukh ki tajalli tere
aaina khana-e-mayusi mein shashdar hoga

chaak kar dalunga daman-e-kafan wahshat se
aastin se na mera hath jo bahar hoga

ai 'rasa' jaisa hai bargashta zamana hum se
aisa bargashta kisi ka na muqaddar hoga
