sadiyon se main is aankh ki putli mein chhupa tha
sadiyoñ se maiñ is aañkh kī putlī meñ chhupā thā
palkoñ pe agar mujh ko sajā lete to kyā thā
tū phail gayā tā-ba-abad mujh se bichhaḌ kar
maiñ jism ke zindāñ meñ tujhe DhūñD rahā thā
haañ mujh ko tire surḳh kajāve kī qasam hai
is raah meñ pahle koī ghuñgrū na bajā thā
guzre the mire sāmne tum dosh-e-havā par
maiñ duur kahīñ ret ke Tiile pe khaḌā thā
siine meñ ubharte hue sūraj kā talātum
āñkhoñ meñ tirī Dūbtī rātoñ kā nasha thā
guzrā na udhar se koī patthar kā pujārī
muddat se maiñ us raah ke māthe pe sajā thā
jab vaqt kī dahlīz pe shab kaañp rahī thī
sho.ala sā mire jism ke āñgan se uThā thā
ab jāniye kyā naqsh havāoñ ne banā.e
us ret pe maiñ ne to tirā naam likhā thā
ai dīda-e-hairāñ tū zarā aur qarīb aa
ai DhūñDne vaale maiñ tujhe DhūñD rahā thā
achchhā hai 'rashīd' aañkh bhar aa.ī hai kisī kī
is ḳhushk samundar meñ to maiñ Duub chalā thā
sadiyon se main is aankh ki putli mein chhupa tha
palkon pe agar mujh ko saja lete to kya tha
tu phail gaya ta-ba-abad mujh se bichhaD kar
main jism ke zindan mein tujhe DhunD raha tha
han mujh ko tere surKH kajawe ki qasam hai
is rah mein pahle koi ghungru na baja tha
guzre the mere samne tum dosh-e-hawa par
main dur kahin ret ke Tile pe khaDa tha
sine mein ubharte hue suraj ka talatum
aankhon mein teri Dubti raaton ka nasha tha
guzra na udhar se koi patthar ka pujari
muddat se main us rah ke mathe pe saja tha
jab waqt ki dahliz pe shab kanp rahi thi
shoala sa mere jism ke aangan se uTha tha
ab jaaniye kya naqsh hawaon ne banae
us ret pe main ne to tera nam likha tha
ai dida-e-hairan tu zara aur qarib aa
ai DhunDne wale main tujhe DhunD raha tha
achchha hai 'rashid' aankh bhar aai hai kisi ki
is KHushk samundar mein to main Dub chala tha
