bazm mein mujh se mila de koi parwane ko
khub samjhaega diwana hi diwane ko

saqiya uzr na kar pine de rindon ko yahin
kaun ghar bandh ke le jaega maikhane ko

aap ke hausla-e-dil se to main waqif hun
is bhulawe mein na suniye mere afsane ko

khal-e-rukh us pe tere gesu-e-pur-pech ka jal
murgh-e-dil kyon na phanse dekh le jab dane ko

wahshi aakhir ko to wahshi hai na samjhega kabhi
sari duniya agar aae use samjhane ko

qissa-e-sham-e-alam kis ko sunae 'shabbir'
pas tak koi bithata nahin diwane ko
