ashiq ki jaan jaati hai is bankpan ko chhod
ai but khuda ke vaste apne chalan ko chhod
bulbul na rahm aaega sayyad ko kabhi
hai jaan agar aziiz to tu is chaman ko chhod
us ka yahi tariq raha ashiqon ke saath
ai dil bas ab shikayat-e-charkh-e-kuhan ko chhod
sahra ki samt paanv badhe jaate hain dil aa
vahshat pukarti hai ki hubbulvatan ko chhod
basne ko chal tu dasht-e-khizan-dida men ‘shabab’
gulzar men bahar-e-gul-o-nastaran ko chhod
