hai intizar faqat phir bahaar aane ka
pata lagaega sayyaad aashiyane ka

bulaya bazm mein phir aankh-bhar nahin dekha
malal kya mere mayus laut jaane ka

mara jo ganw mein faqon se us ka soem hai
kiya hai mir ne ye intizam khane ka

badal gaya hun ki haalat ka taqaza tha
jawaz koi nahin pas tere aane ka

hua hun dur jo apnon se sar pe ban aai
bada junun tha pardes mein kamane ka

girani honton ki muskan le udi yaro
bahana dhund ke laya hun muskurane ka

pada hai aundha mohabbat ka shahsawar tha jo
bada tha shauq use bakht aazmane ka

kaha-suna jo kabhi tum muaf kar dena
khayal dil se nikala hai tum ko pane ka

kabhi to bin-kahe bhi baat man leta tha
'rashid' gur use aaya hai ab satane ka
