bana gaya hai bayaban ka baghban mujh ko
rula gaya hai sitam-zarf aasman mujh ko

mile hain ashk-e-rawan nala-o-fughan fariyaad
diya hai hae ye sab tu ne mehrban mujh ko

diya hai tum ne hi ilzam bewafai ka
sitam hai tum ne hi samjha hai bad-guman mujh ko

main mit gaya bhi to mera wajud qaem hai
na samjhe phir koi be-nam-o-be-nishan mujh ko

na jaane kaun si shai se chhua gaya hun main
ki dhundhti hi rahi gard-e-karwan mujh ko

qafas nasib hun tanhai hai andhera hai
har ek samt nazar aae hai dhuan mujh ko

fana ki zad se hun bahar ye jaanta hun main
hayat mil gai hai jab ki jawedan mujh ko

na jaane kyon mere naqsh-e-qadam se nafrat thi
mita ke rakh diya dekha jahan-jahan mujh ko

wo gulsitan ki jahan jal gaya dil-e-mahzun
pukarta hai wahan apna aashiyan mujh ko

bahaar aziz hai wo kahte hain magar mujh ko
aziz-tar hai 'shafaq' mausam-e-khizan mujh ko
