nami aankhon ki bhi mahsus ki tahrir mein shamil
ki kajal ki dikhe hai dhaar si tanwir mein shamil

mujhe paband kar leti kahan zanjir mein dam tha
tumhaari zulf ki ek lat rahi zanjir mein shamil

imarat mein jo satwat hai hamare dam-qadam se hai
azal se hai gharibon ka lahu tamir mein shamil

adu se koi shikwa hai na hi koi shikayat hai
raza mahbub ki bhi thi meri tazir mein shamil

muqaddar ne banaya hai tamasha be-nawai ka
jise khwabon mein rakkha tha nahin ta'bir mein shamil

mujhe aasan nahin tha zer kar lena jafaon se
kisi lahje ki talkhi thi jafa ke tir mein shamil

suna karte the lahje se pata insan ka chalta hai
ghurur-e-zar dikhai de gaya tasir mein shamil

na-jaane kaun se lamhe nasiba mera phuta tha
kabhi tha shahsawaron mein abhi nakhchir mein shamil

gada ke sar pe jo hai taj wo hai inkisari ka
ye kuchh ashaar hi to hain jo hain jagir mein shamil

hamare dil ki dhadkan un ki dhadkan se muzayyan hai
hamara gham bhi rahta hai gham-e-kashmir mein shamil

shikast aise nahin dete the kafir ko mere aaba
koi josh-e-shahadat bhi to tha shamshir mein shamil

mubarra kaise kar sakta hun apne aap ko logo
yaqinan mere dil ki thi raza taqsir mein shamil

'rashid' irshad ki tamil mein to bhej deta hun
jo dil ka haal hai kaise karun taswir mein shamil
