shurua ahl-e-mohabbat ke imtihan hue
ab un ko naz hua hai ki hum jawan hue

sabhon ki aa gai piri jo tum jawan hue
zamin ka dil hua mitti kham aasman hue

ghazab se kam nahin hota wafur-e-rahmat bhi
main dar gaya wo ziyaada jo mehrban hue

are zara mere dil se ye koi puchh aae
usi tarah wo khafa hain ki mehrban hue

khila naya koi gul dur dur pahunchi bu
na kyun jahan mein ho shohrat ki wo jawan hue

dil-o-jigar ki jagah dagh tak nahin baqi
jo nam-dar pade the wo be-nishan hue

dil-o-jigar mein nahin jaan-e-tan ka zikr hai kya
hamare marne se khali kai makan hue

guzishtagan ke jo qisse bayan karte the
ab un ke zikr bhi kanon ko dastan hue

ewaz namaz-e-janaza ke mere lashe par
tamam qissa-e-mehr-o-wafa bayan hue

gaya dil us ka wo aa baithe jis ke pahlu mein
bas us ki jaan gai jis pe mehrban hue

wo qatl karte magar rahm aa gaya hai 'rashid'
ye mere nale mere waste aman hue
