meri jabin ka muqaddar kahin raqam bhi to ho

meri jabin ka muqaddar kahin raqam bhi to ho
main kis ko samne rakhun koi sanam bhi to ho
kiran kiran tera paikar kali kali chehra
ye lakht lakht badan ab kahin baham bhi to ho


mere nasib mein aakhir khala-nawardi kyun
meri zamin hai to us par mera qadam bhi to ho
har ek shakhs ne katba utha rakha hai yahan
kisi ke hath mein aakhir koi alam bhi to ho


guzar lamhe sahifa ba-dast utrenge
tere nasib mein faizan-e-chashm-e-nam bhi to ho
bas ab to chhed de ai mutriba ghazal koi
tarab-kade mein wo shahzadi-e-alam bhi to ho


'rashid' lab pe hansi hai to aankh nam kar le
nai khushi ke muqabil purana gham bhi to ho
