wasl ke din ka ishaara hai ki dhal jaunga
dil ye kahta hai ki qabu se nikal jaunga

aatish-e-ishq badhi jati hai baitho dam-bhar
garm-raftar rahoge to main jal jaunga

intizar aap ka aisa hai ki dam kahta hai
nigah-e-shauq hun aankhon se nikal jaunga

dil se kahta hai shab-e-wasl yahi shauq-e-visal
main wo arman nahin hun ki nikal jaunga

saikdon zakhm lagenge na hatunga qatil
shajar-e-bagh-e-mohabbat hun main phal jaunga

ahd-e-tifli se ye kahta tha mizaj-e-jaanan
dekh lena ki jawani mein badal jaunga

tifl-e-ashk aankh tak aata hai ye kahta hai 'rashid'
mujh ko mardum ne jo roka to machal jaunga
