Khush huu.N ki meraa husn-e-talab kaam to aayaa
Shakeel Badayuni

Khush huu.N ki meraa husn-e-talab kaam to aayaa
Khaalii hii sahii merii taraf jaam to aayaa

[talab=pursuit; jaam=wineglass]

kaafii hai mere dil ki tasallii ko yahii baat
aap aa na sake aap kaa paiGaam to aayaa

apano.n ne nazar pherii to dil ne to diyaa saath
duniyaa me.n koii dost mere kaam to aayaa

wo subah kaa ehasaas ho yaa.N merii kashish ho
Duubaa hua Khurshiid sar-e-baam to aayaa

[kashish=strife; Khurshiid=sun; baam=morning]

log un se ye kahate hai.n ki kitane hai.n "Shakeel" aap
is husn ke sadaqe me.n meraa naam to aayaa
