bacha tha ek jo wo rabta bhi tut gaya
khafa jo khud se hue aaina bhi tut gaya

fazaen lakh bulaen udan kaise bharen
paron ke sath hi jab hausla bhi tut gaya

us ek ped ke dar pe thin aandhiyan kya kya
ki us ke tutte zor-e-hawa bhi tut gaya

parinde dhundte phirte hain phir se ja-e-aman
shajar ke sath hi har ghonsla bhi tut gaya

'shafiq' wo to bana hai ajib mitti se
ki de ke dastaken sang-e-sada bhi tut gaya
