na sune jab koi fariyaad to fariyaad na kar
izzat-e-nafs badi chiz hai barbaad na kar

shikwa-e-jaur-o-taghaful dil-e-nashad na kar
wo tujhe bhul gaya tu bhi use yaad na kar

dam nikalta hai nikal jae bala se bulbul
aashiyane ke liye minnat-e-sayyaad na kar

khinch kar munh se zaban tod ke donon bazu
yun to sayyaad giraftar ko aazad na kar

hum wafa-kesh wafadar rahenge lekin
ai jafa-kosh jafa kar magar ijad na kar

baghban kash kahe fasl-e-khizan se itna
daulat-e-husn-e-khuda-dad ko barbaad na kar

aap ke khauf hain be-laus hain jab banda-nawaz
phir ye kyon kahte hain 'shaghil' se ki fariyaad na kar
