ghar jala leta hai khud apne hi anwar se tu
kat deta hai zamin saya-e-diwar se tu

is qadar tez na chal sans ukhad jaega
tai na kar rah-e-talab ek hi raftar se tu

gosha-e-dil ki khamoshi ka tamannai main
aur hangame utha laya hai bazar se tu

to zara sa bhi agar fitna hai barpa ho ja
apni qamat na badha turra-e-dastar se tu

aandhiyan utthi hain wo dekh falak surkh hua
toda-e-reg pe baitha hai bade pyar se tu

shab ki tariki mein main ne tujhe pahchan liya
jab huwaida na hua subh ke aasar se tu

muddaton se teri aankhon ke sadaf khali hain
is qadar khauf na kha abr-e-guhar-bar se tu

tazkire karta hai jalte hue sahraon ke
dasht ko dekhta hai shahr ki diwar se tu

muntazir hai tera ek umr se jangal 'shahzad'
is qadar dur na rah apne talabgar se tu
