Rasheed Lakhnavi
raaz ulfat ke ayaan raat ko saare hote
ham ka.i baar unhen ghabra ke pukare hote
sho.ala-e-husn ko roka hai naqab-e-ruḳh ne
abhi moti tire kanon ke sharare hote
jante the ki utaroge lahad men ham ko
maile kapḌe abhi tum ne na utare hote
mere marne ke rahe muntazir ehsan kiya
kyuun sahi aap ne taklif sudhare hote
samne mere raqibon ko dikha.e abru
aap ne us se to ḳhanjar mujhe maare hote
saath aahon ke shab-e-gham men jo dil uḌ jaata
aable auj ye paate ki sitare hote
duur se bhi na hua yaar ka didar nasib
ḳhair baten na hui thiin to ishare hote
ishq-bazi na rahi dil jo gaya vaah ‘rashid’
dam nikal jaata pa himmat to na haare hote
