hai añdherā to samajhtā huuñ shab-e-gesū hai
band āñkheñ haiñ ki ai yaar nazar meñ tū hai
dam-ba-dam kahte ho kyuuñ fikr meñ nāhaq tū hai
ġham ko kyā kaam mirā sar hai mirā zaanū hai
is liye dil ke talab karne pe maiñ rotā huuñ
tar na ho aap kā dāman ki ye ik aañsū hai
aaj phir kal kī tarah hijr kī raat aatī hai
dekhiye kyā ho vahī dil hai vahī pahlū hai
ek muddat kā hai qissa kisī jānib dil thā
ye nahīñ yaad ye pahlū hai ki vo pahlū hai
yād-e-ayyām-e-guzishta meñ na taḌpūñ kyūñkar
ki abhī tak mire bistar meñ tumhārī lau hai
mujh ko māne.a hai adab zab.h meñ kyūñkar taḌpūñ
o sitamgar mire siine pe tirā zaanū hai
hai ayaañ dil ke dhaḌakne se kisī kī ulfat
āj-kal aap ke pahlū meñ mirā pahlū hai
ho gayā hai jo mire dil kā satānā manzūr
āj-kal aap kī har baat meñ ik pahlū hai
tark-e-ulfat to kuchh āsāñ nahīñ mushkil hai 'rashīd'
roko aahoñ ko zarā in pe agar qaabū hai
hai andhera to samajhta hun shab-e-gesu hai
band aankhen hain ki ai yar nazar mein tu hai
dam-ba-dam kahte ho kyun fikr mein nahaq tu hai
gham ko kya kaam mera sar hai mera zanu hai
is liye dil ke talab karne pe main rota hun
tar na ho aap ka daman ki ye ek aansu hai
aaj phir kal ki tarah hijr ki raat aati hai
dekhiye kya ho wahi dil hai wahi pahlu hai
ek muddat ka hai qissa kisi jaanib dil tha
ye nahin yaad ye pahlu hai ki wo pahlu hai
yaad-e-ayyam-e-guzishta mein na taDpun kyunkar
ki abhi tak mere bistar mein tumhaari lau hai
mujh ko manea hai adab zabh mein kyunkar taDpun
o sitamgar mere sine pe tera zanu hai
hai ayan dil ke dhaDakne se kisi ki ulfat
aaj-kal aap ke pahlu mein mera pahlu hai
ho gaya hai jo mere dil ka satana manzur
aaj-kal aap ki har baat mein ek pahlu hai
tark-e-ulfat to kuchh aasan nahin mushkil hai 'rashid'
roko aahon ko zara in pe agar qabu hai
