is e'tibar se wo zud-ranj achchha hai
khafa bhi ho to mere sath sath rahta hai

main aaftab-e-badan ka qasida likhta hun
wo meri ruh ko poshak-e-nur deta hai

asa-e-sabr se rasta bana liya hum ne
kabhi jo rah mein dariya-e-jabr aaya hai

sar-e-nigah bhi 'rashid' dhanak dhanak paikar
pas-e-sahab bhi ek chand chand saya hai
