baat suraj ki koi aaj bani hai ki nahin
baat sūraj kī koī aaj banī hai ki nahīñ
vo jo ik raat musalsal thī kaTī hai ki nahīñ
tere hāthoñ meñ to ā.īna vahī hai ki jo thā
sochtā huuñ mirā chehra bhī vahī hai ki nahīñ
mujh ko Takrā ke ba-har-hāl bikharnā thā magar
vo jo dīvār sī haa.il thī girī hai ki nahīñ
us kā chehra hai ki mahtāb vo āñkheñ haiñ ki jhiil
baat us baat se aage bhī chalī hai ki nahīñ
apne pahlū meñ humakte hue saa.e na sajā
kyā ḳhabar un se ye milne kī ghaḌī hai ki nahīñ
habs chehroñ pe to sadiyoñ se musallat hai magar
koī āñdhī bhī kisī dil meñ uThī hai ki nahīñ
pūchhtā phirtā huuñ maiñ bhāgtī kirnoñ se 'rashīd'
us bhare shahr meñ apnā bhī koī hai ki nahīñ
baat suraj ki koi aaj bani hai ki nahin
wo jo ek raat musalsal thi kaTi hai ki nahin
tere hathon mein to aaina wahi hai ki jo tha
sochta hun mera chehra bhi wahi hai ki nahin
mujh ko Takra ke ba-har-haal bikharna tha magar
wo jo diwar si hail thi giri hai ki nahin
us ka chehra hai ki mahtab wo aankhen hain ki jhil
baat us baat se aage bhi chali hai ki nahin
apne pahlu mein humakte hue sae na saja
kya KHabar un se ye milne ki ghaDi hai ki nahin
habs chehron pe to sadiyon se musallat hai magar
koi aandhi bhi kisi dil mein uThi hai ki nahin
puchhta phirta hun main bhagti kirnon se 'rashid'
us bhare shahr mein apna bhi koi hai ki nahin
