dil ki kya qadr ho mehman kabhi aae na gae
is makan mein tere paikan kabhi aae na gae

aap ishq-e-gul-o-bulbul ki rawish kya jaanen
andarun-e-chamanistan kabhi aae na gae

hum ne ghar apna hi wahshat mein bayaban samjha
bhul kar su-e-bayaban kabhi aae na gae

phir bhi karte hain bayan mulk-e-adam ka ahwal
jite ji hazrat-e-insan kabhi aae na gae

samjhen wo kya ki hain kis haal mein aasuda-e-khak
jo sar-e-gor-e-ghariban kabhi aae na gae

rakh liya ishq mein ashkon ne bharam rone ka
ye guhar ta sar-e-mizhgan kabhi aae na gae

qadr kya ahl-e-zamana ko hamari ho 'rashid'
hum kahin ban ke sukhan-dan kabhi aae na gae
