phir misr ke bazar mein nilam hua kyun
ai ishq bata tera ye anjam hua kyun

hum bais-e-rahat jise samjhe the wo lamha
ab apne liye bais-e-alam hua kyun

ai ishq falak par tujhe likha jo khuda ne
phir tera muqaddar bhala ibham hua kyun

ai ishq tera nam hai jab sach ki alamat
ai ishq tu ruswa yun sar-e-am hua kyun

jab ek hi sajde mein tera bhed chhupa hai
phir sang-e-malamat hi tera dam hua kyun

ai aankh tu be-khwab hai khwabon ki talab mein
ye hijr hi aakhir tera inam hua kyun

chehre pe tere kis liye hairat hai abhi tak
ye itni wazahat pe bhi ibham hua kyun

is dil ko hai mahbub wahi dard ka naghma
is dil mein tajjub hai ye kohram hua kyun

jo teri mohabbat ko samajh hi nahin paya
'shahin' ye dil us ke bhala nam hua kyun
