dastan khatm hai izhaar-e-wafa rahne do
ab mere waste jine ki dua rahne do

qurbaten pyar ki taqdis ghata deti hain
pyar ko lams ki jannat se juda rahne do

phir kisi zakhm ke khul jaen na tanke dekho
rahne do tazkira-e-rasm-e-wafa rahne do

reza-e-sang to aaya gul-e-manzar na sahi
kasa-e-chashm ko hairat se khula rahne do

hum ko tapte hue sahra se guzarna hai abhi
yaad ki chhanw mein kuchh der khada rahne do

jada-e-ishq kathin hai ye samajh mein aa jae
khar ke sath ye patthar bhi pada rahne do

'shan' be-samt na kar de tumhein sahra-e-hayat
zehn mein un ke nuqush-e-kaf-e-pa rahne do
