tar-e-wahshat se rafu kar saken armanon ko
ye ijazat to mile chaak-garebanon ko

ye jo barbaad gali tum ko nazar aati hai
is ne aabaad rakha hai kai diwanon ko

bazm markaz mein sajate ho shanasai ki
aur bulate ho mazafat se beganon ko

yaad aata hai tera ‘ahd-e-mohabbat mujh ko
dekhta hun main agar kanch ke gul-danon ko

hae wo shakhs bhi khamosh khada hai 'sharjil'
jis ki aawaz ki 'adat hai mere kanon ko
