mera hi dil hai bisat-e-hasrat wagarna duniya mein kya nahin hai
bas aisa mahsus ho raha hai ki jaise mera khuda nahin hai

karamat-e-zauq-o-sehr-e-wijdan shaguftan-e-anjum-o-gul-o-mai
hai moajiza wusat-e-nazar ka koi ada khushnuma nahin hai

khizan dam-e-wapsin nahin hai bahaar ka ai gul-e-tamanna
hayat ek jazb-e-jawedan hai jahan matam-sara nahin hai

husul-e-maqsad giran nahin hai khulus-e-niyyat agar ho shamil
dua nahin baryab teri ki tu sharik-e-dua nahin hai

mera aqida bhi kaifiyat par hai zairan-e-sharab-khana
rahe na iman dost ki aankh par magar ye rawa nahin hai

isi jahan mein zaban-zad-e-am hain mohabbat ke sau fasane
yahin mere dost bhi hain 'shaukat' jinhen khayal-e-wafa nahin hai
