duniya-e-ishq mein kisi qabil nahin raha
jo dil teri nazar se gira dil nahin raha

le ja raha hai shauq chala ja raha hun main
ab imtiyaz-e-jada-o-manzil nahin raha

tarik ho gaya hai zamana nigah mein
pahlu mein jab se wo mah-e-kaamil nahin raha

kyon mai-kashon pe uthti hain duniya ki ungliyan
khud shaikh ehtiram ke qabil nahin raha

ab kyunkar un ko lal-e-badakhshan kahe koi
jab dil ka khun ashkon mein shamil nahin raha

eajaz meri chashm-e-haqiqat-nigar ka dekh
ab koi parda parda-e-hail nahin raha

'shaida' kahan wo aish wo ishrat wo imbisat
mahfil mein jab wo zinat-e-mahfil nahin raha
