lakh mujhe dosh pe sar chahiye
sail-e-bala ko mera ghar chahiye

zad-e-safar se kahin katti hai rah
dil mein faqat shauq-e-safar chahiye

khair ho tabani-e-khurshid ki
shab ke dularon ko sahar chahiye

ab ye talab hai ki hawas chhodiye
ped nahin mujh ko samar chahiye

mangte hain wo bhi zamin se murad
su-e-falak jin ki nazar chahiye

ab unhen sahil na dubo de jinhen
par utarne ko bhanwar chahiye

mujh ko to hai khana-kharabi pasand
aap kahen kis liye ghar chahiye

mujh sa bhi mear-talab kaun hai
dukh bhi mujhe koi amar chahiye

kuchh nahin aata to khushamad hi sikh
hath mein koi to hunar chahiye

puchh to lun rahzan-e-waqt se
meri kala ya mera sar chahiye

tegh ki 'rashid' thi zarurat mujhe
main ye samajhta tha sipar chahiye
