kar chuki gham se sarfaraaz mujhe
bhul ja ai nigah-e-naz mujhe

phut jaen na aable dil ke
na sata mere gham-nawaz mujhe

kab tak aakhir lahu rulaega
tera husn-e-karishma-saz mujhe

kaun ab khak chhane dar-dar ki
khinch le naqsh-e-pa-e-naz mujhe

rag-e-jaan se qarib ho ke bhi
na kiya aashna-e-raaz mujhe

kaun apna hai kaun begana
han kabhi tha ye imtiyaz mujhe

ai 'shafaq' un ki be-niyazi ne
kar diya khud se be-niyaz mujhe
