shikwa-e-iztirab kaun kare
apni duniya kharab kaun kare

gin to lete hain ungliyon pe gunah
rahmaton ka hisab kaun kare

ishq ki talkh-kaamiyon ke nisar
zindagi kaamyab kaun kare

hum se mai-kash jo tauba kar baithen
phir ye kar-e-sawab kaun kare

gharq-e-jam-e-sharab ho ke 'shakil'
shaghl-e-jam-o-sharab kaun kare
