kya farz hai ye jism ke zindan mein saza de
main khak agar hun to hawaon mein uda de

ek umr se mahsus kiye jata hun khud ko
koi mujhe chhukar mere hone ka pata de

main jumbish-e-angusht mein mahfuz rahunga
har chand mujhe ret pe tu likh ke mita de

ujda hua ye ped bhi de jaega manzar
sukhi hui shakhon main koi chand phansa de

tu jis ke tasawwur mein mila karta hai mujh se
us shakhs se meri bhi mulaqat kara de

bahti hui is bhid ke tufan mein 'shahid'
kis lahr ko pakde koi aur kis ko sada de
