wo yun kho ke mujhe paya karenge
mera afsana dohraya karenge

sitam apne jo yaad aaya karenge
to dil hi dil mein pachhtaya karenge

ghurur-e-husn ko baatil samajh kar
sarapa ishq ban jaya karenge

na hogi tab-e-zabt-e-gham jab un ko
yaqinan ashk bhar laya karenge

qayamat hongi nazuk dil ki aahen
har ek zarre ko tadpaya karenge

falak matam karega be-kasi par
mah-o-anjum taras khaya karenge

mujhe har gam par thukrane wale
mujhi par naz farmaya karenge

na hogi jab sukun ki koi surat
kuchh apne dil ko samjhaya karenge

har ek tadbir jab nakaam hogi
to mujh ko ru-ba-ru paya karenge

nigahon se mila kar wo nigahen
yakayak rukh badal jaya karenge

wahi naz-o-ada ki shakl hogi
isi surat se sharmaya karenge

main kahta hi rahunga qissa-e-gham
wo sunte sunte so jaya karenge

magar jab hoga aalam aalam-e-khwab
na pa kar mujh ko ghabraya karenge

'shakil' apne liye lamhat-e-fursat
payam-e-nau-ba-nau laya karenge
