abhi ek aas hai saqi ki daur-e-jam aata hai
ulat den mai-kada rindon ko ye bhi kaam aata hai

kuchh is tarkib se ab aashiyan aabaad hote hain
ki barbaadi ka khud apne hi sar ilzam aata hai

ye kya bad-nazmiyan hain tere maikhane mein ai saqi
kisi ke nam ka saghar kisi ke nam aata hai

mere ashkon se nisbat kya tabassum ko tere lekin
shaguft-e-gul ka kuchh shabnam pe bhi ilzam aata hai

kahan ki yaad kis ka zikr un ki bazm-e-rangin mein
hamara nam bhi ab to barae-nam aata hai

khuda shahid ki dil se to khuda ka nam leta hun
magar lab par jab aata hai tumhaara nam aata hai

adab se arsh-e-azam bhi jhuka deta hai sar apna
harim-e-quds mein insan ka jab nam aata hai

'shifa' ye inqalab ek imtihan hai ahl-e-ulfat ka
hamein ye dekhna hai kaun kis ke kaam aata hai
