is tag-o-dau ne aakhirash mujh ko nidhaal kar diya
jine ke ehtimam ne jina muhaal kar diya

ab hum asir-e-zulf hain kis ke kisi ko kya gharaz
us ne to apni qaid se hum ko bahaal kar diya

bazm-e-tarab sajaen kya ab hum hansen hansaen kya
tum ne to hum ko jaan-e-jaan waqf-e-malal kar diya

sher o sukhan ka ek hunar rakhte the hum so shukr hai
kuchh dil ki baat kah sake kuchh arz-e-haal kar diya

kuchh ishq wishq ho gaya kuchh sher wer kah liye
karne ka koi kaam to 'rashid' jamal kar diya
