lutf-e-nigah-e-naz ki tohmat uthae kaun
kuchh der ki bahaar ko khatir mein lae kaun

dil chiz kya hai dil se mohabbat jatae kaun
apna jo khud na ho use apna banae kaun

tere huzur tujh se khafa ho ke jae kaun
zakhm-e-dil-e-tabah pe nashtar lagae kaun

mana harim-e-naz ke pardon mein hai koi
lekin harim-e-naz ke parde uthae kaun

han han mujhe tumhaare taghaful ka gham nahin
is daur-e-khudrawi mein kise aazmae kaun

pad jae lakh waqt magar ye nahin qubul
main dekhta rahun ki mere kaam aae kaun

kaisi bahaar kis ke sitare kahan ke phul
jab tum nahin to dida-o-dil mein kaun samae kaun

zauq-e-amal na zauq-e-junun har taraf sukun
jannat agar yahi hai to jannat mein jae kaun

mahfil mein koi sokhta-jaan hi nahin 'shakil'
soz-o-gudaz-e-shama pe aansu bahae kaun
