gulon ko tazgi taron ko tu ne dilkashi de di
mere dil ki kali ko jaane kyon afsurdagi didi

ba-qadr-e-zarf us ne aagahi-o-gumrahi de di
khudi de di kisi ko aur kisi ko be-khudi de di

zamana kuchh kahe ai dost lekin shukriya tera
koi to maslahat thi jo mujhe diwangi de di

meri nakaamiyan hi kaam aain rah-e-ulfat mein
ghubar-e-karwan ne himmat-e-manzil-rasi de di

na puchh ai ham-nashin aazurda-e-anjam-e-ishrat ho
gham is ka kar raha hun us ne kyon mujh ko khushi de di

kisi ki pursish-e-khamosh bhi ek husn-e-pursish tha
ki jis ne phir hamari zindagi ko zindagi de di

haqiqat mein junun-e-ishq mearaj-e-mohabbat hai
use sab kuchh diya tu ne jise diwangi de di

dam-e-akhir jo dam bhar ko chale aaoge baalin par
to ye samjhunga main lakhon baras ki zindagi de di

zarurat iltijaon ki na hajat hai duaon ki
'shifa' gham kya diya us ne masarrat daimi de di
