nazron mein samaya hai ek jalwa-e-jaanana
ab donon barabar hain kaba ho ki but-khana

andaz-e-junun mera aisa hai hakimana
farzanon mein farzana diwanon mein diwana

waiz ne nahin khola ek raaz-e-haqiqat bhi
bas baaten hi baaten hain afsana hi afsana

ye surat-e-naz achchhi ye rasm-e-niyaz achchhi
husn apnon se begana ishq aap se begana

wo rind-e-azal hun main saqi ki nigahon mein
sad jaan-e-adab meri ek laghzish-e-mastana

rahti hai mudam ulti rindan-e-qadah-kash se
aflak ki gardish ho ya gardish-e-paimana

waiz ko shikayat kyon waiz ki shikayat kya
main hosh se begana ye aql se begana

hangama hawas ka ho ya ishq ko shorish ho
ek dil hi pe mabni hai kaunain ka afsana

ye soz mere dil ka kab us ko mayassar tha
jalti hui kya rahti khakistar-e-parwana

tha hosh ke dam tak hi har shikwa-e-be-mehri
ab tum se kahega kya dil aap se begana

padti hai nazar mujh par ab shaikh-e-haram ki bhi
tujh se wo iradat hai ai murshid-e-mai-khana

pindar-shikan masti saqi se mili warna
mai-khana hila deti ek jurat-e-rindana

is rah-e-mohabbat mein kuchh pesh nahin chalti
'shakir' wo kahan apni ab himmat-e-mardana
