ho ke khush naaz ham aison ke uthane vaala
koi baaqi na raha agle zamane vaala
khvab tak men bhi nazar aata nahin ai chashm
mere ro dene pe ashkon ka bahane vaala
aaj kuchh shaam se chup hai dil-e-mahzun kya ilm
kyuun khafa hai mira raton ka jagane vaala
be-khudi kyuun na ho taari ki gaya siine se
ashk-e-khun ath-pahr mujh ko rulane vaala
kab samajhta hai ki jiina bhi hai akhir koi shai
apni hasti tiri ulfat men mitane vaala
mohtasib khush hai bahut tod ke khum-ha-e-sharab
gham nahin sar pe salamat hai pilane vaala
ho gae dekhne vaale bhi jahan se nayab
ab dikhae kise hairan hai dikhane vaala
tere bimar-e-mohabbat ki ye halat pahunchi
ki hataya gaya takiya bhi sirhane vaala
samna us but-e-kafir ka hai dekhen kya ho
khud hai shashdar mira iman bachane vaala
‘shad’ ik bhiid lagi rahti thi jis ghar men vahan
aane vaala hai na ab koi na jaane vaala
