qudrat hai turfa-kar tujhe kuchh khabar bhi hai
wo aaina-shikan bhi hai aaina-gar bhi hai

sahra ko chhod den to kahan ja ke ye rahen
aawargan-e-ishq-o-mohabbat ka ghar bhi hai

masjud kaenat ho jaise nazar-nawaz
kitna latif waqt tulu-e-sahar bhi hai

kabe ka ehtiram hai ek farz-e-khush-gawar
main kya karun nazar mein tera sang-e-dar bhi hai

saqi wo mai pila ki hamesha rahe surur
mahfil mein mujh sa baada-kash-e-mo'atabar bhi hai

na-ashna-e-ghairat-parwaz hain asir
qaid-e-qafas mein tazkira-e-baal-o-par bhi hai

taqdir naz karti hai hoti hai jab nasib
'shaariq' shikast-e-dil ko nawed-e-zafar bhi hai
