shauq ki kya hai ada dekh le parwane mein
jis ko takhir gawara nahin mit jaane mein

rukh pe wahshat nami aankhon mein labon par aahen
kis ke gham se machi halchal hai ye diwane mein

wo nazar aaen to phir kaun kisi ko dekhe
imtihan to hai wafa ka na nazar aane mein

wajh-e-taskin hai agar kuchh to hai khushnudi teri
kya kashish ahl-e-mohabbat ko jaza pane mein

un ke qurban ki hamein rah dikha di ghar ki
kya halakat ke siwa aur tha virane mein

qalb-o-jaan fikr-e-do-alam se rihai pa len
bhar de saqi mai-e-wahdat mere paimane mein

sath iman ke pa jaen 'salim' is se najat
mutmain kaun hai duniya ke bala-khane mein
