main jo hasil tire kuche ki gadai karta
bandagi kahte hain kis shai ko khudai karta
zarre zarre ko tire kuche men tha mujh se ghubar
main jo karta bhi to kis kis se safai karta
moatakif jo tire kuche ke the uthte na kabhi
kaaba khud aa ke agar nasiya-sai karta
soch nahaq hai asiran-e-qafas ke dil ko
kya padi thi jo koi fikr-e-rihai karta
kanpte hathon se khulta na qafas ai sayyad
kaash manzur bhi tu meri rihai karta
‘shad’ dushman ki shikayat ka vazifa be-kar
kya gharaz thi ki mire saath bhalai karta
