kab talak ruswa karega ai muqaddar so ja
padh chuke tera likha ai mere ham-sar so ja

raat bhar dastaken darwaza-e-dil par paiham
kab talak hum ko sataega sitamgar so ja

wo nahin aaenge kab tak tu bhala dhadkega
ai mere dil meri qismat ke sikandar so ja

khugar-e-ishq tu madhosh-e-mohabbat har-dam
ai mere qalb mere mast qalandar so ja

phir shab-e-hijr wahi dard ki yalghaar wahi
sabr aur shukr ki phir tan ke chadar so ja

kitne shab-khun kiye qafile lute kitne
rahzani kar li bahut ab to ai rahbar so ja

shab ki tanhai mein sag-ha-e-tamanna mat chhed
shor-o-ghul se bapa ho jaega mahshar so ja

bahr-e-gham tujh ko kabhi gharq nahin kar sakta
wusat-e-zarf badha pi ke samundar so ja

mazi ki dhund mein mat jhank kaha man mera
raat bhar barsenge phir yaad ke patthar so ja

phir wahi rat-jage ta-sahar tadapna 'shahid'
ishq mein tera bahut haal hai abtar so ja
