kaise niklun khumar se bahar
bazuon ke hisar se bahar

dard nikla hai sabr ki had se
ashk nikle qatar se bahar

chand lamhon ki mukhtasar qurbat
aur yaaden shumar se bahar

is liye us ki yaad mein gum hun
bhulna ikhtiyar se bahar

aur jaen kahan mah o anjum
roz-o-shab ke madar se bahar

tifl-e-dil phir udas baitha hai
koi le jae pyar se bahar

koi 'rakhshanda' milne aaya hai
chal chalen intizar se bahar
