junun ki fasl aai baDh gai tauqir patthar ki

junūñ kī fasl aa.ī baḌh ga.ī tauqīr patthar kī

sar-e-shorīda ḳhud karne lagā tadbīr patthar kī

ye mushkil kis tarah hal ho nahīñ shamshīr patthar kī

dil-e-sayyād patthar gardan-e-naḳhchīr patthar kī

binā ā.īna chamkī kis qadar taqdīr patthar kī

tumhāre rū-ba-rū aayā zahe tauqīr patthar kī

hamāre josh-e-vahshat ne ye ham ko rañg dikhlāyā

na kuchh taqsīr laḌkoñ kī na kuchh taqsīr patthar kī

nishāñ kuchh aap bhī kar deñ huā dafn aap kā majnūñ

pa.e tārīḳh rehlat kījiye tadbīr patthar kī

ragoñ meñ merī peshānī kī josh-e-ḳhūñ huā paidā

hikāyat likh chukā jab kātib-e-taqdīr patthar kī

jo tū samjhe to mere tere dil kī ek sūrat hai

ye hai tasvīr miTTī kī vo hai tasvīr patthar kī

na jis meñ lafz-o-ma.anī hoñ kalām us ko nahīñ kahte

chaTaknā pattharoñ kā kab huī taqrīr patthar kī

tirā saudā jahāñ par thā rasā.ī ho ga.ī vaañ tak

paḌā sar par hamāre laḌ ga.ī taqdīr patthar kī

lagāyā sañg apne haath se tū ne mire sar par

ḳhushā taqdīr merī aur zahe taqdīr patthar kī

qasam logo adab se aañkh uThā ke maiñ ne dekhā ho

tumhāre dar meñ lohe kī hai yā zanjīr patthar kī

dil-e-saḳht ai 'rashīd'-e-zār apnā hai garāñ ham ko

bajā hai kis tarah bhārī na ho tasvīr patthar kī

junun ki fasl aai baDh gai tauqir patthar ki

sar-e-shorida KHud karne laga tadbir patthar ki

ye mushkil kis tarah hal ho nahin shamshir patthar ki

dil-e-sayyaad patthar gardan-e-naKHchir patthar ki

bina aaina chamki kis qadar taqdir patthar ki

tumhaare ru-ba-ru aaya zahe tauqir patthar ki

hamare josh-e-wahshat ne ye hum ko rang dikhlaya

na kuchh taqsir laDkon ki na kuchh taqsir patthar ki

nishan kuchh aap bhi kar den hua dafn aap ka majnun

pae tariKH rehlat kijiye tadbir patthar ki

ragon mein meri peshani ki josh-e-KHun hua paida

hikayat likh chuka jab katib-e-taqdir patthar ki

jo tu samjhe to mere tere dil ki ek surat hai

ye hai taswir miTTi ki wo hai taswir patthar ki

na jis mein lafz-o-mani hon kalam us ko nahin kahte

chaTakna pattharon ka kab hui taqrir patthar ki

tera sauda jahan par tha rasai ho gai wan tak

paDa sar par hamare laD gai taqdir patthar ki

lagaya sang apne hath se tu ne mere sar par

KHusha taqdir meri aur zahe taqdir patthar ki

qasam logo adab se aankh uTha ke main ne dekha ho

tumhaare dar mein lohe ki hai ya zanjir patthar ki

dil-e-saKHt ai 'rashid'-e-zar apna hai garan hum ko

baja hai kis tarah bhaari na ho taswir patthar ki
