tere nalon se koi badnam hota jaega

tere nalon se koi badnam hota jaega
tu bhi ai dil morid-e-ilzam hota jaega
mutmain hun main ki ho jaega saman-e-sukun
dard badhta jaega aaram hota jaega


wajh-e-nakaami na hon ai dil teri be-sabriyan
sabr se le kaam khud har kaam hota jaega
chhod de ai dil tamanna zindagi ki chhod de
tu halak-e-gardish-e-ayyam hota jaega


hum tahi-dastan-e-qismat mar gae pyase to kya
mai-kade mein yunhi daur-e-jam hota jaega
iltifat-e-naz jo makhsus tha mere liye
kya khabar thi rafta rafta aam hota jaega


aib hai 'shakir' har ek ke samne arz-e-hunar
nam ki khwahish mein tu badnam hota jaega
