zamin par fasl-e-gul aai falak par mahtab aaya
sabhi aae magar koi na shayan-e-shabab aaya

mera khat padh ke bole nama-bar se ja khuda-hafiz
jawab aaya meri qismat se lekin la-jawab aaya

ujale garmi-e-raftar ka hi sath dete hain
basera tha jahan apna wahin tak aaftab aaya

'shakil' apne mazaq-e-did ki takmil kya hogi
idhar nazron ne himmat ki udhar rukh par naqab aaya
