yaad ke be-rang zakhmon ko lahu mil jaega
dard ka mausam to aane do chaman khil jaega

aarzuon ke safar ki intiha hoti nahin
har nai manzil pe ek rasta naya mil jaega

rahguzar-e-shauq mein dil ke taqaze kuchh bhi hon
karwan-e-zindagi manzil-ba-manzil jaega

dil sulagta hai to daman tak pahunch jati hai aanch
jab kabhi tufan uthega su-e-sahil jaega

jis dayar-e-shauq ka tha aasra wo mit gaya
ab kahan le kar mujhe ai jazba-e-dil jaega

tera kucha ho ki maqtal hum ko is ki fikr kya
hum usi jaanib chalenge jis taraf dil jaega

ehtimam-e-raqs-e-diwana to hai par sochiye
khwab-gah-e-naz tak shor-e-salasil jaega

ho rahi hai bazm mein 'shaariq' masihai ki baat
zakhm bhi bhar jaenge aur chaak bhi sil jaega
