abhi tak un ke vahi sitam hain jafa ki khu bhi nahin gai hai
vo ranjishen bhi nahin gai hain vo guftugu bhi nahin gai hai
nasheman apna utha na yaan se khizan jo aai to aai bulbul
bahar rukhsat abhi hui hai gulon ki bu bhi nahin gai hai
gai javani to jaae dilbar mujhe hai ulfat hanuz baaqi
vo iltija bhi nahin gai hai vo justuju bhi nahin gai hai
ye rashk-e-bulbul ki jaan dene ko tu abhi se tadap rahi hai
abhi to hai bu-e-gul chaman men vo ku-ba-ku bhi nahin gai hai
‘shabab’ bosa liya jo main ne to kya bigad kar vo shokh bola
adab zara bhi nahin hai tujh ko haya to chhu bhi nahin gai hai
