sabhi andhere sameTe hue paDe rahna
sabhī añdhere sameTe hue paḌe rahnā
charāġh-e-rāh-guzar is tarah bane rahnā
ye ḳhvāhishoñ kā samundar sarāb jaisā hai
sabhī kā apne ta.āqub meñ bhāgte rahnā
na.ī bahār kī ḳhushiyāñ nasīb hoñ lekin
nishāniyāñ ga.e mausam kī bhī rakhe rahnā
udaas chehre koī bhī nahīñ paḌhā kartā
numā.ishoñ kī tarah aap bhī saje rahnā
maiñ itnī bhiiḌ meñ ik roz kho bhī saktā huuñ
kasī jagah to mirā naam bhī likhe rahnā
ai zindagī mire dukh-sukh kahāñ ye chhoḌ aa.ī
vo lamha lamha bikharnā vo rat-jage rahnā
'ra.īs' kaun sā aaseb hai makānoñ meñ
tamām shahr ye kahtā hai jāgte rahnā
sabhi andhere sameTe hue paDe rahna
charagh-e-rah-guzar is tarah bane rahna
ye KHwahishon ka samundar sarab jaisa hai
sabhi ka apne taaqub mein bhagte rahna
nai bahaar ki KHushiyan nasib hon lekin
nishaniyan gae mausam ki bhi rakhe rahna
udas chehre koi bhi nahin paDha karta
numaishon ki tarah aap bhi saje rahna
main itni bhiD mein ek roz kho bhi sakta hun
kasi jagah to mera nam bhi likhe rahna
ai zindagi mere dukh-sukh kahan ye chhoD aai
wo lamha lamha bikharna wo rat-jage rahna
'rais' kaun sa aaseb hai makanon mein
tamam shahr ye kahta hai jagte rahna
