isi ka nam hai diwana banna aur bana dena
isī kā naam hai dīvāna banñā aur banā denā
butoñ ke sāmne jā kar ḳhudā kā vāsta denā
nigāh-e-shauq kā baḌh kar naqāb-e-ruḳh uThā denā
tire jalve kā barham ho ke ik bijlī girā denā
ḳhudā.ī hī ḳhudā kī ḳhaak se insāñ banā denā
tumhārā khel hai insāñ ko miTTī meñ milā denā
maiñ apnī dāstān-e-dard-e-dil ro ro ke kahtā huuñ
jahāñ se chāhnā tum sunte sunte muskurā denā
mazāq-e-shikva achchhā hai magar ik shart hī ai dil
yahāñ jo yaad kar lenā vahāñ jā kar bhulā denā
vafā be-shak jafāoñ kā badal hai lekin ai zālim
bahut mushkil hai mujh se rone vaale ko hañsā denā
zabāñ ko shikva-sanjī kā mazā hī baat kahne do
maiñ tum se ye nahīñ kahtā ki tum dād-e-vafā denā
yahī ma.anī haiñ ai 'shaukat' buland-o-past ke shāyad
nigāhoñ par chaḌhānā aur nazroñ se girā denā
isi ka nam hai diwana banna aur bana dena
buton ke samne ja kar KHuda ka wasta dena
nigah-e-shauq ka baDh kar naqab-e-ruKH uTha dena
tere jalwe ka barham ho ke ek bijli gira dena
KHudai hi KHuda ki KHak se insan bana dena
tumhaara khel hai insan ko miTTi mein mila dena
main apni dastan-e-dard-e-dil ro ro ke kahta hun
jahan se chahna tum sunte sunte muskura dena
mazaq-e-shikwa achchha hai magar ek shart hi ai dil
yahan jo yaad kar lena wahan ja kar bhula dena
wafa be-shak jafaon ka badal hai lekin ai zalim
bahut mushkil hai mujh se rone wale ko hansa dena
zaban ko shikwa-sanji ka maza hi baat kahne do
main tum se ye nahin kahta ki tum dad-e-wafa dena
yahi mani hain ai 'shaukat' buland-o-past ke shayad
nigahon par chaDhana aur nazron se gira dena
