rah-e-khuda mein aalam-e-rindana mil gaya
masjid ko dhundte the ki mai-khana mil gaya

aaghaz-e-kaenat se jis ki talash thi
auraq-e-zindagi mein wo afsana mil gaya

ahl-e-junun ko tab kahan soz-e-husn ki
jalte hi shama khak mein parwana mil gaya

dekha nigah-e-yas se jab gul-kade ka rang
har gul ki aad mein koi virana mil gaya

ek ek zaban par meri rudad hai 'shakil'
apnon ke sath kya koi begana mil gaya
