nahin milte ‘shu.ur’ aansu bahate
nazar aate hain hanste-muskurate
vo ghanTon baiThte hain doston men
magar dekha akele aate jaate
nikal jaate hain na-malum janib
vo gird-o-pesh se nazren bachate
jise kahte hain log ummul-ḳhaba.is
rahe un ke usi se rishte-nate
vo kya jinnat se karte hain baten
unhen paaya gaya hai budbudate
uTha paa.e na apna bojh bhi vo
bhala kya dusron ke kaam aate
ayaan tha be-ḳhudi se haal un ka
koi kya puchhta vo kya batate
bata lete hain mausam har tarah ka
anadil bostan men rote gaate
‘shu.ur’ aap aa.e hain milne sar-e-sham
hamare paas hoti to pilate
