pahlu mein dard-e-ishq ki duniya liye hue
baitha hun zindagi ka sahaara liye hue

dil hai tajalli-e-rukh-e-zeba liye hue
aaghosh mein hai chand ko dariya liye hue

pahunche to dil mein josh-e-tamanna liye hue
laute magar luti hui duniya liye hue

main ji raha hun gham-kada-e-rozgar mein
teri mohabbaton ka sahaara liye hue

uthta hun bazm-e-husn se laghzish-ba-pa 'shakil'
bahki si ek nazar ka sahaara liye hue
