dil ke jalte hue zakhmon ka mudawa ban kar
phul mahke hain tere hath ka saya ban kar

main tere jism ko chhute hue yun darta hun
tishnagi aur badha dega tu dariya ban kar

kya daraenge muqaddar ke andhere tujh ko
main chamakta hun tere hath pe rekha ban kar

waqt hai barf ki diwar to kaise pighle
khun bhi aaankhon se tapakta nahin shoala ban kar

hath aaya nahin kuchh sang-e-malamat ke siwa
shahr mein dekh liya hum ne tamasha ban kar

hadsa koi ho bujhti nahin aaankhon ki chamak
jism mein phail gaya hai wo ujala ban kar

aaine saf the kis kis ko wahan jhutlata
har syahi nazar aai mera chehra ban kar

tishnagi lakh sahi ghar se na niklo 'rashid'
raat sine mein utar jaegi sahra ban kar
