Duur hai manzil raahen mushkil aalam hai tanahaaii kaa
aaj mujhe ehasaas huaa hai apani shikastaapaaii kaa

dekh ke mujh ko duniyaaa vaale kahane lage hain diivaanaa
aaj vahaan hai ishq jahaan kuchh Khauf nahiin rusavaaii kaa

chhod den rasm-e-Khudnigarii ko tod den apanaa iimaan
Khatm kiye detaa hai zaalim ruup terii angaDaaii kaa

main ne ziyaa husn ko bakhshii us kaa to koii zikr nahiin
lekin ghar ghar men charchaa hai aaj terii raanaaii kaa

ahal-e-havas ab ghabaraate hain Duub ke behar-e-Gham men "Shakeel" 
pahale na thaa bechaaron ko andaazaa geharaaii kaa
