nigah o dil mein wahi karbala ka manzar tha
main tishna-lab thi mere samne samundar tha

bahut ghurur tha biphre hue samundar ko
magar jo dekha mere aansuon se kam-tar tha

hamare hisse mein aai hai ret sahil ki
kisi ne chhin li wo sip jis mein gauhar tha

bahut sukun tha thahre hue samundar ko
ki us mein jo bhi tha tufan mere andar tha

wo shakhs aaya tha ai 'shama' le ke mausam-e-gul
use khabar hi na thi dard mera zewar tha
