ba jazb-e-dil ba-naz-e-agahana
jabin hai be-niyaz-e-astana

salamat apna soz-e-baghiyana
banega bijliyon mein aashiyana

jhukenge chand suraj mere aage
uthegi jab nigah-e-ghaziyana

chaman hi ke badal den kyon na dastur
qafas ko kya banaen aashiyana

hain sab parchhaiyan azm-o-amal ki
bigadta hai na banta hai zamana

khudi-o-be-khudi donon hain dhoke
na ho jab tak nigah-e-arifana

haqiqat ko ziyaada chhanne se
haqiqat bhi na ban jae fasana

zamin ko hum mila denge falak se
jab utthenge ba-zo'm-e-shairana

parakh leta hun har achchhe bure ko
'shifa' nazren hain meri naqidana
