bichhad ke us se abhi hun zinda magar bahut pur-malal ab tak
khabar nahin wo sanbhal chuka hai ya wo bhi hai khasta-haal ab tak

mujhe tera intizar kyon hai ye dil mera be-qarar kyon hai
mere khayal-o-nazar mein dekho yahi hai bas ek sawal ab tak

kaha gaya waqt sare zakhmon ka aap marham banega ek din
kaho ki zakhmon ka kyon nahin ho saka bhala indimal ab tak

kahan ye mumkin ki bhul jaun main zindagi ki hasin yaaden
bataun kaise ki hijr mein hun main ranj-o-gham se nidhaal ab tak

main ek mashal main ek jugnu main ek sham-e-wafa hun 'shahin'
mere khuda ne rakha hua hai mujhe to yun khush-khayal ab tak
