jahan bhi hum thahar gae maqam bolne lage
mohabbaton ki boliyan awam bolne lage

sar-e-ghurur kham nahin koi kisi se kam nahin
sikandaron ke samne ghulam bolne lage

suni jo jae aankh se wo jism ki zaban hai
hazar lab khamosh hon khiram bolne lage

koi bhi shakhs-e-be-adab wo din nahin hai dur jab
junun mein apne aap ko imam bolne lage

saja wo jab dukan par mataa-e-am jaan kar
nae amir bad-mizaj dam bolne lage

mufakkirana ek nazar jo dalun kaenat par
khat-e-shikasta mein likha kalam bolne lage

hayat-bakhsh aab ko miyan 'shafaq' sharab kar
chakhe baghair aap bhi haram bolne lage
