rabta hai lab-e-jaanan se hamein
kaam hai chashma-e-haiwan se hamein

munh lagaya hai to aab-e-haiwan
dijiye chah-e-zanakhdan se hamein

dhup se bhi hai ziyaada parhez
saya-e-daman-e-ehsan se hamein

chashma-e-chashm kahan abr kahan
bahs kya barish-o-baran se hamein

ulfat-e-sar hai na afsar ka khayal
kya ilaqa sar-o-saman se hamein

na nikalega kabhi bakht-e-siyah
zulmat-e-sham-e-ghariban se hamein

chhut gai sohbat-e-jaanan ai 'rashk'
ranj hai rabt-e-tan-o-jaan se hamein
