na paimane khanakte hain na daur-e-jam chalta hai
nai duniya ke rindon mein khuda ka nam chalta hai

gham-e-ishq se hain gham-e-hasti ke hangame juda lekin
wahan bhi din guzarte hain yahan bhi kaam chalta hai

chhupe hain lakh haq ke marhale gum-nam honton par
usi ki baat chal jati hai jis ka nam chalta hai

junun-e-rah-rawi-e-waqt ki raftar se puchho
koi manzil nahin lekin ye subh o sham chalta hai

'shakil'-e-mast ko masti mein jo kahna hai kahne do
ye mai-khana hai ai waiz yahan sab kaam chalta hai
