khun-e-ehsas ko maujon ki rawani samjhe
ashk-e-gul-rang the wo hum jinhen pani samjhe

kaun karta hai kharabon mein dafinon ki talash
kis ko fursat hai jo zakhmon ke maani samjhe

kaise mit jati hai aankhon se wafa ki tahrir
aaj udte hue rangon ki zabani samjhe

jab bhi dekha hai use hum ne nae zakhm mile
kaun us shakhs ki taswir purani samjhe

aanch thi apne sulagte hue gham ki 'rashid'
log jis ko hunar-e-shola-bayani samjhe
