muft dushnam-e-yar sunte hain
ek kah kar hazar sunte hain

tum himayat karo na ghairon ki
chaar kahte hain chaar sunte hain

hum fida-e-chaman qafas mein bhi
zikr-e-fasl-e-bahaar sunte hain

kuchh to hai baat jo tere munh se
sukhan-e-nagawar sunte hain

aap aur aaen apne wade par
aise fiqre hazar sunte hain

us se milne ko dil tadapta hai
hum jise be-qarar sunte hain

hum taghazzul mein aaj tujh ko 'rashid'
hasil-e-rozgar sunte hain
