ulfat ki agar rudad suno to mera fasana kafi hai
han zikr-e-jafa-e-dost nahin bedad-e-zamana kafi hai

hum se tha ibarat khanda-e-gul har baat pe aa jati thi hansi
ab azmat-e-girya hum se hai rone ko bahana kafi hai

is daur-e-junun mein apna pata hum is ke siwa kya samjhaen
ek naqsh-e-qadam sajdon ke nishan bas itna thikana kafi hai

pahuncha ki nahin us tak koi is ki to koi tahqiq nahin
hum su-e-harim-e-dost agar ho jaen rawana kafi hai

duniya ko bhala hum kya denge khud dast-nigar hain hum un ke
kuchh un pe tasadduq karna ho to gham ka khazana kafi hai

bas hum to mohabbat karte hain hum hamd-o-sana ko kya samjhen
sunte hain rijhane ko un ke ulfat ka tarana kafi hai

begana hua har shakhs yahan hum jis ko 'shifa' apna samjhe
ab us ka daman tham liya bas wo hi yagana kafi hai
