ajab bigde muqaddar ban gae hain
jo dariya the samundar ban gae hain

zamin se ud ke zarre aasman par
mah-o-parwin-o-akhtar ban gae hain

sar-e-lauh-e-tasawwur kaise kaise
adhure naqsh paikar ban gae hain

hamein bakhshi hai narmi mausamon ne
magar kuchh log patthar ban gae hain

mila hai yun hamein gham ka khazana
hamare ashk gauhar ban gae hain

shab-e-gham bhule-bisre chand chehre
charagh-e-qalb-e-muztar ban gae hain

unhen kya khauf ho 'shahid' khuda ka
khuda jo is zamin par ban gae hain
