dil mein pinhan gham-e-mohabbat hai
mere pahlu mein meri jannat hai

tark-e-ulfat ke baad samjha main
us ki duri mein kitni qurbat hai

apni manzil pe yun khada hun main
jaise koi maqam-e-hairat hai

zindagi ki dua na do mujh ko
zindagi maut ki alamat hai

dekhen kab dar tak rasai ho
haq-bayani hamari fitrat hai

ho agar zauq-e-bandagi sadiq
dil bhi ek markaz-e-ibaadat hai

mera maslak hai dosti 'shadan'
har bashar se mujhe mohabbat hai
