ab tumhaara gham mere dil se bhula sakta hai kaun
jo tumhaara hai use apna bana sakta hai kaun

ya to diwana hanse ya tum jise taufiq do
warna is duniya mein rah kar muskura sakta hai kaun

ab to dil ghabra gaya hai shiddat-e-alam se
tum batao abr-e-rahmat ban ke chha sakta hai kaun

zist se ummid wabasta hai un ke qurb ki
warna is bar-e-amanat ko utha sakta hai kaun

waqif-e-anjam-e-ulfat the hum is ke bawajud
wo fareb-e-dosti khaya hai kha sakta hai kaun

jab karam hota hai mil jate hain koh-o-dasht mein
dair-o-kaba mein bhi warna un ko pa sakta hai kaun

ishtiyaq-e-did shayad kar raha tha rahbari
kis tarah hum aae manzil tak bata sakta hai kaun

hum ne aankhen band karke dil mein dekha hai tumhein
samne aao to tab-e-did la sakta hai kaun

mai ho ya masti ba-qadr-e-zarf milti hai 'shifa'
aur apne zarf ko un se chhupa sakta hai kaun
