haqir jaanta hai iftikhar mangta hai
wo zahr bantta hai aur pyar mangta hai

abhi to hath mein us ke hai khandan ki laj
gareban sab ke jo ab tar-tar mangta hai

bichha ke rakhta hai wo sab ki rah mein kante
sile mein logon se phulon ke haar mangta hai

main apne wade pe qarza chuka nahin paya
muafi dil se abhi sharmsar mangta hai

hawas jab se mile tab se iztirab mein hun
mere khuda mera dil bhi qarar mangta hai

amir-e-shahr ne chhina hai munh ka luqma bhi
phir is pe qahr abhi eatibar mangta hai

abhi ye ahl-e-siyasat ke bas ka rog nahin
abhi ye mulk naya shahsawar mangta hai

baja ke tair-e-chashm-e-hasin hai mashshaq
dil-o-nazar ka magar ye shikar mangta hai

main dekhta hun ki zulfen teri sanwarta hun
hai khwab achchha magar intizar mangta hai

'rashid' un pe mera naghma kargar hi nahin
ye git wo hai ki jo dil ke tar mangta hai
