kuchh hashr se kam garmi-e-bazar nahin hai
wo jins hun main jis ka kharidar nahin hai

is raat ke gambhir andhere mein hai kya kya
hasil tujhe par dida-e-bedar nahin hai

mumkin ho to sine mein utar kar to mere dekh
wo lash hun main jis ka aza-dar nahin hai

ek tere taghaful ne kamar tod ke rakh di
warna gham-e-duniya to mujhe bar nahin hai

hansta hai mere sina-e-sad-chaak pe kya kya
wo jis ke gareban mein ek tar nahin hai

dil khugar-e-gham kaun sa gham pa ke jiyega
warna tujhe pana mujhe dushwar nahin hai

kis munh se aman chahunga suraj se dobara
sad-shukr ki yan saya-e-diwar nahin hai

chahega kise kis ka wafadar rahega
ye dil jise khud se bhi abhi pyar nahin hai

kya lutf hai rakhta hai sar-e-lutf-o-karam bhi
'shohrat' ki tere gham ka saza-war nahin hai
