muflisi aur naujawani hai
kis qadar dukh bhari kahani hai

un ki aamad hai sochta hun baat
kya chhupani hai kya batani hai

khadsha-e-marg to hai la-hasil
maut to maut ko bhi aani hai

ashk samjho to khun hai dil ka
kuchh na samjho to sirf pani hai

un ke honton se phul jhadte hain
baat karna bhi gul-fishani hai

husn to hai zuhur-e-barq-e-tur
ishq ek aatish-e-butani hai

shaikh ko kya pila diya 'shahid'
kis qadar us ko sargirani hai
