shiraaza-e-hayat ki har shai bikhar gai
kya ho gaya wafa ko mohabbat kidhar gai

meri shab-e-firaq ka aalam na puchhiye
qalb-o-nazar pe ek qayamat guzar gai

kya kijiye shikayat-e-gham-ha-e-rozgar
ye bhi guzar hi jaegi itni guzar gai

dil mein machal ke rah gai sajdon ki aarzu
jalwe ke intizar mein tab-e-nazar gai

kya puchhte ho dair-o-haram ki haqiqaten
parde pade hue the jahan tak nazar gai

'shahid' wafa-shiaron ko hum ne bhula diya
insaniyat ke sath sharafat bhi mar gai
