mumkin nahin ki faiz-e-junun raegan rahe
ye bhi to ek nishan hai ki hum be-nishan rahe

aajiz teri talash mein kaun-o-makan rahe
ab jo tujhe talash kare wo kahan rahe

be-wasta nazara-e-shan-e-jamal kar
ye bhi hai ek khata ki nazar darmiyan rahe

taufiq de ki pesh karun gham ko is tarah
duniya ko mere gham pe khushi ka guman rahe

sham un ki ek ada hai sahar un ka ek nur
yani ki wo ayan na hue aur ayan rahe

bakhsha hai mujh ko un ki nazar ne zahe karam
wo hosh jis pe be-khabari ka guman rahe

shauq-e-sukhan fuzul hai 'shahid' baghair-e-ishq
dil mein koi khalish ho to munh mein zaban rahe
