har ghadi dard ki shiddat se bilakti aankhen
aatish-e-hijr se har lamha pighalti aankhen

ek lamhe ki mulaqat hui umr ka rog
us ki surat ko hain har waqt tarasti aankhen

dil-e-betab mein ab tak wo machalti khwahish
teri khushbu se musalsal ye mahakti aankhen

khwab mein thahra hua jhil ka nila manzar
aur usi jhil kinare hain bhatakti aankhen

ab to wahshat si tapakti hai har ek manzar se
soz-e-hijran ki tapish se hain sulagti aankhen

ishq nilam hua aam ya nakaam hua
rah gain ahl-e-wafa ki to barasti aankhen

samne pa ke use dusri jaanib takna
ye haqiqat mein hain 'shahin' sambhalti aankhen
