Tere nalon se koi badnam hota jaega

tere nalon se koi badnam hota jaega
tu bhi ai dil morid-e-ilzam hota jaega

mutmain hun main ki ho jaega saman-e-sukun
dard baDhta jaega aaram hota jaega

wajh-e-nakaami na hon ai dil teri be-sabriyan
sabr se le kaam KHud har kaam hota jaega

chhoD de ai dil tamanna zindagi ki chhoD de
tu halak-e-gardish-e-ayyam hota jaega

hum tahi-dastan-e-qismat mar gae pyase to kya
mai-kade mein yunhi daur-e-jam hota jaega

iltifat-e-naz jo maKHsus tha mere liye
kya KHabar thi rafta rafta aam hota jaega

aib hai 'shakir' har ek ke samne arz-e-hunar
nam ki KHwahish mein tu badnam hota jaega
