ai ajal aa firaq-e-yar mein aa
kab se hun tere intizar mein aa

kya tera kaam wasl mein ai nind
hijr mein kulah mere mazar mein aa

kahti hai pa-e-shauq se wahshat
su-e-sahra hawa-e-khar mein aa

jite ji sair-e-khuld kar ai shaikh
aa mere sath ku-e-yar mein aa

ai gham-e-marg-e-arzu na bhatak
tu mere qalb-e-sogwar mein aa

jis tarah aati hai khushi dil mein
nahin ai maut hijr-e-yar mein aa

un se qaul-o-qarar hota hai
ab to ai dil zara qarar mein aa

kunj-e-uzlat se ai 'shahir' nikal
bazm-e-rindan-e-baada-khwar mein aa
