Ye kaisi rasm tere shah'r mei'n rawaa paaoo'n?
Jis ajnabee se miloo'n,uss-ko aashnaa paaoo'n !
Samajh-ke, soch-ke ek baar phir likhoo'n wohi naam,
Phir ek gunaah karoo'n , aur ek sazaa paaoo'n.
Mujhe khabar nahii'n kuchh faaslo'n ki saazish ki,
Usay qareeb se dekhoo'n toh jaane kyaa paaoo'n ?
Ghutann ka mauj-e-sabaa se sulook laa- maaloom ?
Dareecha band rakhoo'n ya khulee hawaa paaoo'n.
Na-jaane kaun-si pehchaan inteha hai meri ?
Har aaine mei'n koee shakhs doosraa paaoo'n !
Lubhaane lagte hai'n 'Shahid' kuchh aashnaa sajde,
Labo'n se lipti-hui jab bhi ek duaa paaoo'n .
