āsmāñ us ke liye aur zamīñ us ke saath
shahr kā chal diyā har ek hasīñ us ke saath
bas yahī soch ke maiñ bhūkī rahī kitne din
hogī ik dāvat-e-shīrāz kahīñ us ke saath
naav ko chaar taraf ghere khaḌe the girdāb
ye magar faisla merā thā nahīñ us ke saath
kaise maiñ ḳhālī karā saktī thī ye dil apnā
ghar ke dīvār-o-dar-o-aks-o-makīñ us ke saath
vo jo ik pair tale shaḳhs hai bhūkā pyāsā
boriyā merā lagā diijo vahīñ us ke saath
us kī firoza-nigāhī meñ ajab jaadū hai
rañg tabdīl kare chashm-e-nagīñ us ke saath
duur ākāsh pe raushan rahe husn-e-mahtāb
apnī 'raḳhshanda' munavvar hai jabīñ us ke saath
aasman us ke liye aur zamin us ke sath
shahr ka chal diya har ek hasin us ke sath
bas yahi soch ke main bhuki rahi kitne din
hogi ek dawat-e-shiraaz kahin us ke sath
naw ko chaar taraf ghere khaDe the girdab
ye magar faisla mera tha nahin us ke sath
kaise main KHali kara sakti thi ye dil apna
ghar ke diwar-o-dar-o-aks-o-makin us ke sath
wo jo ek pair tale shaKHs hai bhuka pyasa
boriya mera laga dijo wahin us ke sath
us ki firoza-nigahi mein ajab jadu hai
rang tabdil kare chashm-e-nagin us ke sath
dur aakash pe raushan rahe husn-e-mahtab
apni 'raKHshanda' munawwar hai jabin us ke sath
