har ek ka wo dard-e-jigar bhul gae hain
kya apni nigahon ka asar bhul gae hain

allah re is be-khudi-e-ishq ka aalam
dekha hai kahin un ko magar bhul gae hain

sina hai magar ishq ke anwar se khali
rahraw hain magar zad-e-safar bhul gae hain

dekho to nae daur ki aashufta-sari ko
jo ahl-e-hunar the wo hunar bhul gae hain

jab se gul-e-khush-rang ki dekhi hai tabahi
kaliyon ke tabassum ka asar bhul gae hain

'shair' dil-e-barbaad hai masrur hamara
shayad asar-e-sham-o-sahar bhul gae hain
