wo dil mein aaj basa bas ke dil-nawaz hua
dil-o-dimagh mein phir khub saz-baz hua

wo lais tir-e-nazar se kaman-e-abru se
nihatta ishq tha paspa ba-har-mahaz hua

wo kas ke phabtiyan kahla rahe hain khush-guftar
main lab-kusha bhi hua to zaban-daraaz hua

tamam umr kiye jis ko raat-din sajde
wo meri lahd pe bhi munkir-e-namaz hua

shajar buland raha aandhiyon mein kham ho kar
jo sab se jhuk ke mila hai wo sarfaraaz hua

madad ki jab bhi zarurat mujhe hui 'shahid'
ajib baat hai har shakhs hila-saz hua
