dekhte hain jab kabhi iman mein nuqsan shaikh
aune-paune bech dala karte hain iman shaikh

baad muddat ke jahan mein rahzanon ke din phire
sunte hain phir ho gae hain ab police kaptan shaikh

har zaban par zikr-e-haq aur dil mein hai yaad-e-butan
ye nahin khulta ki hain insan ya shaitan shaikh

ahl-e-shar to aap ko kahte hain amm-e-mohtaram
aur shaitan aap ko kahta hai bhai-jaan shaikh

be-takalluf hath dho kar baith jate hain zarur
dekh lete hain bichha jis ja pe dastar-khwan shaikh

shauq hai lekin khilaf-e-waza apni jaan kar
mol le kar khud kabhi khate nahin ek pan shaikh

go tajawuz kar chuke hain aap bhi sau sal se
byah ka rakhte hain lekin aaj bhi arman shaikh

jab ki bimar-e-mohabbat ka nahin mumkin ilaj
de rahe hain phunk kar bekar use loban shaikh

kaid ho hirs-o-hawas ho ya fareb-o-makr ho
aap hi ke hath rahta hai har ek maidan shaikh

'shauq'-sahab un ki rag rag se hain waqif khub hum
us ka ho jae diwala jis ke hon mehman shaikh
