sad-haif adam ko thukra kar hasti ki ziyarat kar baithe
nadan the hum nadani mein jine ki himaqat kar baithe

khaliq ne nawaza roz-e-azal kis tarah hamein kya batlaen
lekin jo amanat pai thi hum us mein khayanat kar baithe

is des mein jab har rahzan ko rahbar ka sharaf pate dekha
qadron ke muhafiz ho kar bhi qadron se baghawat kar baithe

nau-khez gulon ke aariz par jo maut ki zardi le aai
us baad-e-saba se ghabra kar tufan se mohabbat kar baithe

wo daur gaya jab zalim ko mail-ba-karam karti thi wafa
hum kar ke mohabbat dushman se saman-e-qayamat kar baithe

aazar na jaane kitne the 'shafi' se mudawa kya hota
tauhid ke diwane the magar asnam ki taat kar baithe
