mar Dalegi hamein ye KHush-bayani aap ki

maar Dālegī hameñ ye ḳhush-bayānī aap kī

maut kā paiġhām aa.egā zabānī aap kī

zindagī kahte haiñ kis ko maut kis kā naam hai

mehrbānī aap kī nā-mehrbānī aap kī

ba.ad-e-murdan khīñch laayā jazb-e-dil siine pe haath

ik añgūThī meñ jo pahne thā nishānī aap kī

baḌh chukā qad bhī faroġh-e-husn kī had ho chukī

ab to qābil dekhne ke hai javānī aap kī

aap se mil ke gale rāhat se aa jaatī hai niiñd

sabza-e-ḳhvābīda hai poshāk dhānī aap kī

rañg aalam kā badalnā aap ke sadqe meñ hai

jam.a kar rakkhī thiiñ poshākeñ purānī aap kī

āñkhoñ par bañdhvāī paTTī tā na dekhūñ aur ko

mar gayā maiñ par vahī hai bad-gumānī aap kī

jab vo mujh ko dekhtā hai hañs ke kahtā hai 'rashīd'

kitnī pāband-e-vafā hai zindagānī aap kī

mar Dalegi hamein ye KHush-bayani aap ki

maut ka paigham aaega zabani aap ki

zindagi kahte hain kis ko maut kis ka nam hai

mehrbani aap ki na-mehrbani aap ki

baad-e-murdan khinch laya jazb-e-dil sine pe hath

ek anguThi mein jo pahne tha nishani aap ki

baDh chuka qad bhi farogh-e-husn ki had ho chuki

ab to qabil dekhne ke hai jawani aap ki

aap se mil ke gale rahat se aa jati hai nind

sabza-e-KHwabida hai poshak dhani aap ki

rang aalam ka badalna aap ke sadqe mein hai

jama kar rakkhi thin poshaken purani aap ki

aankhon par bandhwai paTTi ta na dekhun aur ko

mar gaya main par wahi hai bad-gumani aap ki

jab wo mujh ko dekhta hai hans ke kahta hai 'rashid'

kitni paband-e-wafa hai zindagani aap ki
