aap bhi nahin aae nind bhi nahin aai
nim-wa darichon se jhankti hai tanhai

jag jag uthte hain gan-kali ke mithe sur
chhed chhed jati hai gesuon ki purwai

yun mere khayalon mein teri yaad raqsan hai
jis tarah fazaon mein gunjti hai shahnai

gard-e-rah bhi chup hai sang-e-mil bhi khamosh
taliban-e-manzil ki kuchh khabar nahin aai

ek taraf gham-e-duniya ek taraf teri yaaden
aaj kal hayulon se khelte hain saudai

jin gulon ne paya ho rang-o-bu bagulon se
kaun chhin sakta hai un gulon ki ranai

ye tane tane abru ye hara-bhara chehra
hum ne qahr si lazzat pyar mein nahin pai

ab to saf sunta hun apne dil ki har dhadkan
aur kya dikhaegi ye tawil tanhai

bazm-e-dost mein 'shahzad' tum bhi kuchh hanso bolo
chup rahe se hoti hai dur dur ruswai
