wo ba-wafa nahin na sahi bewafa to hai
duniya-e-husn-o-ishq mein ek rabta to hai

ab kya karen ki ye bhi gawara nahin unhen
aadab-e-gham mein waise tabassum rawa to hai

hum ko na kyon aziz hon duniya ke pech-o-kham
zulfon se teri dur ka ek wasta to hai

tu hi bata kahan hai teri be-rukhi ka zikr
tu ne bhi qissa-e-gham-e-ulfat suna to hai

un ki nazar se ho ki zamane ki chaal se
duniya-e-dil mein hashr hamari bapa to hai

kya ye bhi tere zauq-e-jafa ko hai nagawar
apni wafa ko main ne wafa han kaha to hai

mana kabhi jafa ka na shikwa kiya 'shafiq'
un ki inayaton se tumhein ab gila to hai
