aasar-e-junun be-sar-o-saman nahin hote
hum shahr-e-tahayyur mein pareshan nahin hote

raste mein tilismat bichhi jati hain har dam
hum khu-e-safar surat-e-hairan nahin hote

mazi ki tanabon se lage dard ke kheme
kya jaaniye kyun dida-e-imkan nahin hote

khwabon ki haweli se rawan shor-e-musalsal
aawaz-e-jaras ke liye zindan nahin hote

hum zabt ki tarikh ke hain bab 'rashidi'
hum zabt ki tarikh mein pinhan nahin hote
