umde hue dilon ke wo jazbaat le gae
baadal uthe to sath mein barsat le gae

suraj ko dubta hua main dekhta raha
dil ka sukun waqt ke haalat le gae

aae the bantne ke liye zindagi ke gham
daman mein apne ashkon ki khairaat le gae

tanhai apna husn-e-muqaddar bani rahi
sahra mein khwahishat ki baraat le gae

andhe kuen ke khol nazar aae har taraf
mujh ko kahan kahan ye khayalat le gae

milne ki waza-dari zamane mein ab kahan
mukhlis jo the wo rang-e-mulaqat le gae

ubhre the un ke dil mein sawalat jo 'rais'
aankhon se meri sab ke jawabaat le gae
