Shmashad Shad
giili miTTi se badan bante hue umr lagi
mujh ko sahra se chaman bante hue umr lagi
puḳhtagi fikr men yak-laḳht kahan aati hai
meri sochon ko suḳhan bante hue umr lagi
ibn-e-adam ki havas se mili sadiyon men najat
bint-e-havva ko dulhan bante hue umr lagi
farq halanki bahut thoḌa hai donon men magar
sar ke anchal ko kafan bante hue umr lagi
ham to samjhe the vo mahkega gulon ki manind
par use ghuncha-dahan bante hue umr lagi
chand lamhon men taghayyur ye nahin aaya hai
chhal ko duniya ka chalan bante hue umr lagi
main to bas itna kahunga miri mayusi ko
‘shad’ aasha ki kiran bante hue umr lagi
