wo jo KHud apne badan ko saeban karta nahin
vo jo ḳhud apne badan ko sā.ebāñ kartā nahīñ
kyuuñ na pachhtā.e ki saaya āsmāñ kartā nahīñ
jaane kyuuñ ik dūsre ke log haiñ shikva-guzār
kaun kis ke hausloñ kā imtihāñ kartā nahīñ
kuchh nahīñ khultā ki āḳhir kyā kahānī hai jise
log sunñā chāhte haiñ maiñ bayāñ kartā nahīñ
us se milte vaqt tujh ko saath rakhkhūñ kis tarah
maiñ to apne-āp ko bhī darmiyāñ kartā nahīñ
merī peshānī pe apnī mohr kar detī haiñ sabt
nasb jin rāhoñ pe meñ apnā nishāñ kartā nahīñ
mujh meñ aur ham-peshgāñ meñ bas yahī ik farq hai
maañg hai jis maal kī zeb-e-dukāñ kartā nahīñ
sarf patvāroñ ke bal par paar kyā utregā vo
in havāoñ meñ jo ūñchā bādbāñ kartā nahīñ
hech hai sab kī nazar meñ dekhnā 'rāshid' vo shaḳhs
apne baare meñ jo ḳhud koī gumāñ kartā nahīñ
wo jo KHud apne badan ko saeban karta nahin
kyun na pachhtae ki saya aasman karta nahin
jaane kyun ek dusre ke log hain shikwa-guzar
kaun kis ke hauslon ka imtihan karta nahin
kuchh nahin khulta ki aaKHir kya kahani hai jise
log sunna chahte hain main bayan karta nahin
us se milte waqt tujh ko sath rakhkhun kis tarah
main to apne-ap ko bhi darmiyan karta nahin
meri peshani pe apni mohr kar deti hain sabt
nasb jin rahon pe mein apna nishan karta nahin
mujh mein aur ham-peshgan mein bas yahi ek farq hai
mang hai jis mal ki zeb-e-dukan karta nahin
sarf patwaron ke bal par par kya utrega wo
in hawaon mein jo uncha baadban karta nahin
hech hai sab ki nazar mein dekhna 'rashid' wo shaKHs
apne bare mein jo KHud koi guman karta nahin
