vahi saffaak havaaon kaa sadaf bante hain — Shahid Meer

ganvaae baiThe hain aankhon ki raushni 'shaahid'
jahaan-panaah kaa insaaf dekhne vaale

— Shahid Meer

rone se aur lutf vafaaon kaa baDh gayaa
sab zaaiqa phalon mein nae paaniyon kaa hai

— Shahid Meer

aur kuchh bhi mujhe darkaar nahin hai lekin
meri chaadar mire pairon ke baraabar kar de

— Shahid Meer

shajar ne lahlahaa kar aur havaa ne chuum kar mujh ko
tiri aamad ke afsaane sunaae jhuum kar mujh ko

— Shahid Meer

pahle to chhin li miri aankhon ki raushni
phir aaine ke saamne laayaa gayaa mujhe

— Shahid Meer

bujhti hui si ek shabih zehn mein liye
miTti hui sitaaron ki saf dekhte rahe

— Shahid Meer

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ye aansu ponchh lijiye aur muskuraaiye
chaara nahin hai koi bhi rukhsat kiye baghair

ham haal to kah sakte hain apnaa pa kahein kyaa
jab vo idhar aate hain to tanhaa nahin aate

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

main ne apni palkon par gham-kade sajaae hain
aarzu ke maatam mein sogvaar hasti hai
