ghazab hai justuju-e-dil ka ye anjam ho jae
ki manzil dur ho aur raste mein sham ho jae

wahi nala wahi naghma bas ek tafriq-e-lafzi hai
qafas ko muntashir kar do nasheman nam ho jae

tasadduq ismat-e-kaunain us majzub-e-ulfat par
jo un ka gham chhupae aur khud bad-nam ho jae

ye aalam ho to un ko be-hijabi ki zarurat kya
naqab uthne na pae aur jalwa aam ho jae

ye mera faisla hai aap mere ho nahin sakte
main jab jaanun ki ye jazba mera nakaam ho jae

abhi to dil mein halki si khalish mahsus hoti hai
bahut mumkin hai kal is ka mohabbat nam ho jae

jo mera dil na ho 'sheri' harif un ki nigahon ka
to duniya bhar mein barpa inqalab-e-am ho jae
