asar itna to ho ya-rab hamare jazba-e-dil ka
baghair-e-iltija parda ulat de koi mahmil ka

jo tum chaho badal jae abhi naqsha mere dil ka
tumhein mushkil nahin aasan karna meri mushkil ka

khuda jaane ye kis ka khun-e-nahaq rang laya hai
har aansu surkh hai jo bah raha hai sham-e-mahfil ka

mujhi se kya hai mere aansuon ke muntazir kya ho
zara tum hi palat do muskura kar rang mahfil ka

samajh baithe sukun-e-arzi ko mustaqil rahat
na kyon matam karun main ishrat-e-yaran-e-sahil ka

koi dozakh banaenge ki wo jannat banaenge
khuda jaane karenge kya meri khakistar-e-dil ka

'shifa' ye kasr-e-shan-e-zauq tauhin-e-nazara hai
ki un ko dekh kar kya dekhna phir mah-e-kaamil ka
