sukun mein kaise bhala taliban-e-zat rahen
jab aap yunhi pas-e-parda-e-sifat rahen

agar na aap pas-e-parda-e-sifat rahen
na mumkinat hi thahren na wajibaat rahen

wo khak-e-dar ho agar zinat-e-jabin-e-niyaz
hamin ko haq hai ki masjud-e-kaenat rahen

hai khizr kaba-e-irfan yaqin ki yak-rangi
sanam-kade mein khirad ke tawahhumat rahen

ulajh ke rah gai zarron mein fikr-e-nau-e-bashar
kahan ye mahram-e-asrar-e-kaenat rahen

tawaf-e-shams-o-qamar muntaha-e-fikr-o-nazar
junun ye hai ki khudawand-e-kaenat rahen

durust mujh se nahin shikwa-e-kam-amezi
main chahta hun ki qaem talluqat rahen

kabhi inayat-e-ahbab ki tamanna thi
ab aarzu hai ki mahrum-e-iltifat rahen

'rashid' aish agar ho nasib-e-ahl-e-hunar
to kis ke ho ke zamane ke hadsat rahen
