Dil se tiri yaad ke naqsh udaa ke le gaya

waqt miri zeest ke sar se rida le gaya

Jab koi rukhsat hua, jane kyun aisa laga

jaise meray jism se jaan chura ke le gaya

Wo koi khuddar tha yaa ke adakar tha

hans ke gham-e-zaat ka karb chhupa ke le gaya

Rah mein kyun ro daya, lutf-e-safar kho diya

dil se bharosa tira paon ke chhale le gaya

Yaariyan, dildaariyan, bhuli hui dastaan

koi mire shahr se rasm-e-wafa le gaya

Rashid-e-shurida sar, khud pe kabhi ek nazar

ghar se tire aaina kaun uthha ke le gaya
