bojh bachchon ko uthane ki saza mat dena
aur jine ki buzurgon ko dua mat dena

gosha-e-dil mein dabi ek jo chingari hai
khud bhadak jaegi ek roz hawa mat dena

khud mita denge ye alfaz siyahi apni
bu-e-tahrir hai kaghaz pe jala mat dena

are phaldar darakhton pe bhi un ka haq hai
dekh shakhon se parindon ko uda mat dena

raat bhar jag ke tamir kiya hai ye mahal
lafz-e-inkar se buniyaad hila mat dena

is khata par kahin mahshar mein na ruswai ho
aaj 'rashid' ko nigahon se gira mat dena
