Honton pe sahilon ki tarha tishnagi rahi
Main chup huwa to meri ana cheekh’ti rahi

Ek naam kya likha tere sahil ki rait par
Phir umer bhar hawa se meri dushmani rahi

Sarkoo pe sard raat rahi meri humsafar
Aankho main mere sath thakan jaagti rahi

Yaadon se khelti rahi tanhayi raat bhar
Khushboo k intazaar main shub bheegti rahi

Woh lafz lafz mujh pe utarta raha 'shakeel'
Socho pe us k naam ki takhti lagi rahi
