Alqama Shibli
mujh ko auron se koi shikva nahin
main ne bhi to ḳhud ko pahchana nahin
sar pe aa pahuncha hai suraj karb ka
saath apne saaya bhi apna nahin
shauq-e-manzil hi hai mera ḳhizr-e-rah
naqsh-e-pa har moḌ par milta nahin
ho gaya ḳhun-e-hayat ab yuun safed
jaise mera is se kuchh rishta nahin
hai ḳhayal-e-ḳham vo main ne jise
pairahan alfaz ka baḳhsha nahin
ab hai chehron par naqab-e-maslahat
koi chehra dil ka a.ina nahin
kyuun na ho sho.ala-ba-daman zindagi
kis taraf ab aag ka dariya nahin
phuul ki ik pankhuḌi kahiye use
zindagi ik barg-e-avara nahin
zehn-e-‘shibli’ men hai us ki guunj bhi
vaqt ke honTon pe jo naghma nahin
