dil ne yun hausla-e-nala-o-fariyaad kiya
main ye samjha shab-e-gham tum ne kuchh irshad kiya

jabr-e-fitrat ne ye achchha karam ijad kiya
ki mujhe wusat-e-zanjir tak aazad kiya

tum na the dil mein to viran thi kahani meri
ishq ne lafz ko mafhum se aabaad kiya

tera andaz-e-tabassum hai ki unwan-e-bahaar
jab koi phul khila main ne tujhe yaad kiya

jhilmilane lagi lau shama ki gul murjhae
hum ne jab bazm mein zikr-e-dil-e-nashad kiya

intiha-e-gham-e-furqat mein wo din bhi aae
main tujhe bhul gaya tu ne mujhe yaad kiya

imtiyaz-e-karam-o-jaur se mahrum hain sab
tu ne jis dil ko mitaya use aabaad kiya

tha asiri mein hamein sirf gulistan ka khayal
chhut kar aae to zindan ko bahut yaad aaya

kaun samjhega mera aalam-e-rindi 'shahid'
jab kahin ji na laga mai-kada aabaad kiya
