ek jafa-ju se mohabbat ho gai
hae ye kaisi himaqat ho gai

ho gaya jis par masiha mehrban
band us ke dil ki harkat ho gai

aa gai un ki jawani aa gai
ho gai barpa qayamat ho gai

ye tasawwur ki karishma-saziyan
dekha jis shai ko wo aurat ho gai

lije wo utthi nigah-e-iltifat
lije takmil-e-himaqat ho gai

jab nigah-e-naz kamsin ki uthi
nannhi-munni ek qayamat ho gai

jab hue wo mail-e-ahd-e-wafa
badh ke mane un ki luknat ho gai

kya kare bechaari duzdida nigah
chori karna us ki fitrat ho gai

ye inayat-e-musalsal al-aman
duguni aur tiguni musibat ho gai

munh lagi ummal-e-ahd-e-nau ke bhi
kisi qadar gustakh rishwat ho gai

main ne yun dil ko banaya aaina
aaina-gar ko bhi hairat ho gai

lakh zalim ne chhupae apne aib
'shauq' us ki phir bhi shohrat ho gai
