tere suluk ka gham subh-o-sham kya karte
zara si baat pe jina haram kya karte

ki be-adab ka bhala ehtiram kya karte
jo nastik tha use ram-ram kya karte

wo koi 'mir' hon 'ghaalib' hon ya 'anis'-o-'dabir'
sukhan-wari se bada koi kaam kya karte

na nind aankhon mein baqi na intizar raha
ye haal tha to koi nek kaam kya karte

mizaj mein tha takabbur to harkaton mein ghurur
phir aise shakhs ko hum bhi salam kya karte

'rais' khu-e-wafa ne hamein rulaya hai
phir is chalan ko bhala hum bhi aam kya karte
