nind ujdi to nigahon mein manazir kya hain
hum ki betab kisi khwab ki khatir kya hain

barg-e-masum se karte hain khizan ki baaten
mausam-e-sabz ke lamhat bhi shatir kya hain

jaise ujdi hui basti mein ibaadat ka saman
sukhti shakh pe baithe hue tair kya hain

kyun ba-har-lamha bikharta hai yaqin ka paikar
tanz o tashkik ke asbab bil-akhir kya hain

rah-e-pur-khar pe ye chalte bagule ki tarah
roz-e-mahshar ke payami hain musafir kya hain

dardmandana sadaqat ke payambar 'shahpar'
dard ki baat samajhne se bhi qasir kya hain
