wajd mein zabta-e-raqs nahin tutega
kuchh bhi ho silsila-e-raqs nahin tutega

aa gae nara-e-mastana lagane wale
ab kabhi qaeda-e-raqs nahin tutega

raqs-e-darwesh mein darwesh hi shamil honge
aur koi zawiya-e-raqs nahin tutega

khirqa-poshon se kaho aaya hai phir mausam-e-raqs
yani ab hausla-e-raqs nahin tutega

ku-e-jaanan se hum aashufta-mizajon ka kabhi
sathiyo rabta-e-raqs nahin tutega

raqs-e-darwesh hai ye ghamza-e-raqqas nahin
dosto daera-e-raqs nahin tutega

dil ki pazeb ki jhankar mein kho bhi jao
zindagi bhar nasha-e-raqs nahin tutega

'hashmi' raqs wo aaghaz kiya hai hum ne
ab kabhi silsila-e-raqs nahin tutega
