hazar martaba dekha sitam judai ka
hanuz hausla baqi hai aashnai ka

pari uthi mere pahlu se barha nakaam
farefta hun teri tarz-e-dilrubai ka

mujhe azab-e-jahannam ki but-parast hun main
wo but bahisht mein dawa jise khudai ka

faza-e-bagh se hai gosha-e-qafas khush-tar
gar apne dil mein na ho daghdagha rihai ka

adab na wadi-e-wahshat ke mujh se tark hue
junun mein hosh raha hai barhana-pai ka

nigah khanda taghaful itab kohna hue
nikal tarz naya koi dilrubai ka

buton ka sajda meri sarnawisht mein kab tha
ki azm kabe ke dar par ho jubba-sai ka

uchak raha hai khada baam-e-arsh par kam-bakht
qalaq hai mujh ko 'shahidi' ki na-rasai ka
