ahl-e-nazar ki aankh mein husn ki aabru nahin
yani ye gul hai kaghzi rang hai jis mein bu nahin

dil ko na ranj dijiye shauq se zabh kijiye
aap ki tegh tegh hai mera gulu gulu nahin

dushman o dost ke liye chahiye shukr-e-tegh-e-naz
kaun hai qatl-gah mein aaj jo surkh-ru nahin

aap se dil lagaun kyun jaur-o-sitam uthaun kyun
ab to sukun se kaam hai dard ki justuju nahin

bazm-e-sukhan mein ai 'rashid' naghme se mujh ko kaam kya
shair-e-shokh-fikr hun mutrib-e-khush-gulu nahin
