uthi phir dil mein ek mauj-e-shabab aahista aahista
kuchh aaya zindagi mein inqalab aahista aahista

sama kar mujh mein wo jaan-e-shabab aahista aahista
bana dega mujhe apna jawab aahista aahista

ye mahfil zahidan-e-khushk ki mahfil hai ai rindo
zara is bazm mein zikr-e-sharab aahista aahista

meri nazren mujhi ko rafta rafta bhul jati hain
hue jate hain jalwe kaamyab aahista aahista

na kahiye han na kahiye aap ko mujh se mohabbat hai
nigahen khud hi de dengi jawab aahista aahista

'shakil' is darja mayusi shuru-e-ishq mein kaisi
abhi to aur hona hai kharab aahista aahista
