shaikh-e-haram us but ka parastar hua hai
but-khana-nashin bandh ke zunnar hua hai

har harf pe do aansu tapak padte hain ai wae
khat yar ko likhna hamein dushwar hua hai

kotah na samajh aah-e-zaifan ko ye tir
sau bar dil-e-arsh se bhi par hua hai

ai said-fagan gham se tere duri ki mera
har zakhm-e-dil ek dida-e-khun-bar hua hai

hasti teri parda hai utha de ise ghafil
kyun aisa hijab-e-rukh-e-dildar hua hai

aage tere thi garm-e-sukhan hone ki hasrat
so bharna dam-e-sard bhi dushwar hua hai

kar qadr tu 'rasikh' ki ki is tarah ka aazad
yun dam mein aa tere giraftar hua hai
