ye kaun sa suraj mere pahlu mein khaDa hai
ye kaun sā sūraj mire pahlū meñ khaḌā hai
mujh se to 'rashīd' ab mirā saaya bhī baḌā hai
tū jis pe ḳhafā hai mire andar kā ye insān
us baat pe mujh se bhī ka.ī baar laḌā hai
dekhā jo palaT kar to mire saa.e meñ gum thā
vo shaḳhs jo mujh se qad-o-qāmat meñ baḌā hai
sadiyoñ use paalā hai samundar ne sadaf meñ
pal-bhar ke liye jo mirī palkoñ meñ jaḌā hai
ḳhurshīd ke chehre pe lakīreñ haiñ lahū kī
ḳhanjar sā koī raat ke siine meñ gaḌā hai
ik lafz jo niklā thā safeñ dil kī ulaT kar
muddat se mire lab pe vo be-jān paḌā hai
Takrā ke palaTtā huuñ lagātār udhar se
ye sañg-sifat kaun sar-e-rāh khaḌā hai
ye kaun sa suraj mere pahlu mein khaDa hai
mujh se to 'rashid' ab mera saya bhi baDa hai
tu jis pe KHafa hai mere andar ka ye insan
us baat pe mujh se bhi kai bar laDa hai
dekha jo palaT kar to mere sae mein gum tha
wo shaKHs jo mujh se qad-o-qamat mein baDa hai
sadiyon use pala hai samundar ne sadaf mein
pal-bhar ke liye jo meri palkon mein jaDa hai
KHurshid ke chehre pe lakiren hain lahu ki
KHanjar sa koi raat ke sine mein gaDa hai
ek lafz jo nikla tha safen dil ki ulaT kar
muddat se mere lab pe wo be-jaan paDa hai
Takra ke palaTta hun lagatar udhar se
ye sang-sifat kaun sar-e-rah khaDa hai
