dil hai ek hi lekin nam-e-dil badalta hai
saj gaya to gulshan hai lut gaya to sahra hai

mera dard-e-mahrumi ek naya taqaza hai
ishq raegan kyon ho tum nahin to duniya hai

husn hai bahaaren hain shauq hai tamasha hai
aashiqi ki nisbat se zindagi gawara hai

dard-o-gham ki rahon mein sath chhodna kaisa
dur tak chale aao dur tak andhera hai

kal tere tasawwur ne mahfilen sajai thin
aaj dil ki duniya mein teri yaad tanha hai

zulmaton ka rona kya ahl-e-karwan hoshyar
us taraf hain rahzan bhi jis taraf ujala hai

raushni mein dhalti hai dil ke khun ki surkhi
tab kahin sar-e-mizhgan ek charagh jalta hai

gard-e-rah-e-insan hain mah-o-kahkashan 'shahid'
justuju-e-paiham ka hashr kis ne dekha hai
