jahan-e-fikr-o-nazar ka sabaat le ke gaya
wo sirf dil hi nahin kaenat le ke gaya

wo ahd-e-rafta wo ulfat wo ehtiram-e-wafa
gaya to sath mein sari sifat le ke gaya

bhatak rahe the sarab-e-nazar liye har-su
shuur-e-ishq jahan dil ko sath le ke gaya

main sirf us ko taghaful kahun to kaise kahun
gaya to sath mein har iltifat le ke gaya

ghurur le ke mara ikhtiyar-e-hasti ka
tu apni fikr-e-hayat-o-mamat le ke gaya

lahad wahi hai magar aa chuke nae murde
to waqt lash ki sab baqiyat le ke gaya

zamir bechne wale wo tera sauda-gar
zamir hi nahin zat o sifat le ke gaya

wo aur kuchh bhi na rakhta tha jism o jaan ke siwa
suna 'shahid' mata-e-hayat le ke gaya
