rahne diya na chain se lail-o-nahaar ne
mara gham-e-hayat-o-gham-e-rozgar ne

ek kaif pa liya hai dil-e-be-qarar ne
phir gudguda diya hai nasim-e-bahaar ne

jalwon ki tab la na saka bazm-e-naz mein
khoya khud eatibar dil-e-be-qarar ne

chhede na koi meri mohabbat ki dastan
khaya hai taza zakhm dil-e-dagh-dar ne

duniya ka gham kabhi gham-e-uqba kabhi raha
paya na chain mere dil-e-be-qarar ne

daman se un ke lipti kabhi rukh se ja lagi
kya kya maze na lute hain musht-e-ghubar ne

utthi kabhi naqab to khil utthi chandni
jalwe bikher dale hain rukhsar-e-yar ne

milta jo umr bhar na mujhe wasl-e-yar se
wo kaif de diya hai tere intizar ne

duniya-e-ishq mein wahi sabit-qadam raha
bakhsha junun-e-ishq jise tere pyar ne

aata nahin hai aaj bhi wo samne 'shafia'
bakhsha jahan ko to usi parda-dar ne
