jiddaten dekhiye sahra mein bhi diwanon ki
roz ek waza badalte hain garebanon ki

be-rukhi dekhiye khinchte hue paikanon ki
bastiyan lute liye jate hain armanon ki

aaj hum roe bahut dekh ke taswir-e-bahaar
yaad taza hui bhule hue afsanon ki

kijiye sal-girah fasl-e-bahaar aa pahunchi
bediyan phir se badalwaiye diwanon ki

mana karte the gire aankh se kyon ashk-e-'rashid'
aabru khoi chhalakte hue paimanon ki
