shauq-e-awara yunhi khak-basar jaega
chand chupke se kisi ghar mein utar jaega

us ki sohbat bhi hai ek khwab-sara mein rahna
wo jo chal dega to ye khwab bikhar jaega

waqt har zakhm ka marham hai pa lazim to nahin
zakhm jo us ne diya hai kabhi bhar jaega

jins-e-taza ke kharidar pade hain har-su
kaise be-kar mera harf-e-hunar jaega

soch lije ki ye ayyam guzar jaenge
matla-e-fikr bahar-taur nikhar jaega

nakhuda kashti mein surakh kiye jata hai
hum bhi dubenge wahin aap jidhar jaega

shauq-e-didar mein us sarw-e-rawan ke 'shahid'
mausam-e-gul mere aangan mein thahar jaega
