subh ka afsana kah kar sham se
khelta hun gardish-e-ayyam se

un ki yaad un ki tamanna un ka gham
kat rahi hai zindagi aaram se

ishq mein aaengi wo bhi saaten
kaam niklega dil-e-nakaam se

lakh main diwana-e-ruswa sahi
phir bhi ek nisbat hai tere nam se

subh-e-gulshan dekhiye kya gul khilae
kuchh hawa badli hui hai sham se

hae mera matam-e-tishna-labi
shisha mil kar ro raha hai jam se

be-khudi par shayad us ka bas nahin
josh aa jata hai un ke nam se

har-nafas mahsus hota hai 'shakil'
aa rahe hain nama-o-paigham se
