kyon na apni dastan be-rabt afsana rahe
tum se hum manus ho kar khud se begana rahe

sabr ki had ho gai saqi idhar bhi ek nigah
aakhirash kab tak yunhi hathon mein paimana rahe

main to apni rau mein kah guzra hun dil ki dastan
dekhiye ab yaad kis ko mera afsana rahe

tauba tauba ye nigah-e-mast ye kafir shabab
jo tujhe dekhe wo sari umr diwana rahe

wo mujhe dekha karen aur main unhen dekha karun
lutf isi mein hai ki yun hi daur-e-paimana rahe

husn ke sath aa hi jati hai mohabbat ko bhi nind
shama so jae to kyon bedar parwana rahe

kis ne diwana banaya is ko kya jaane wo 'shauq'
hae wo ghafil jo khud apne se begana rahe
