tujhe sunaun ghazal ya sunaun apna gham
zara irada bata tu bhi kuchh ai mere sanam

main shahzadi hun alfaz ke riyasat ki
khazana sher-o-sukhan ka kabhi na hoga kam

nibha rahe hain sabhi se khulus ke rishte
isi se baqi hai duniya ke bazuon mein dam

jo hum se raat mein tanhai ham-kalam hui
sanwar gaya mere jazbon ka aaj sara kham

mujhe pasand nahin be-hayai duniya ki
koi samet le aa kar tamiz ka yun bharam

bayan kar diya jazbaat main ne bhi 'shirin'
hunar ye apna nahin hai khuda ka khas karam
