qafas ko le ke udna pad raha hai
ye sauda mujh ko mahnga pad raha hai
miri har ik masafat raegan thi
mujhe taslim karna pad raha hai
suna hai ek jaadu hai mohabbat
ye jaadu hai to ulta pad raha hai
mohabbat hai hamen ik dusre se
ye aapas men batana pad raha hai
jo rahna chahta hai la-taalluq
taalluq us se rakhna pad raha hai
samajhti thi bahut asan jin ko
unhin kamon men rakhna pad raha hai
hui jaati hai phir kyuun duur manzil
mira paanv to sidha pad raha hai
main kin logon se milna chahti thi
ye kin logon se milna pad raha hai
main ab tak mar nahin paai huun ‘shabnam’
so ab tak mujh ko jiina pad raha hai
