meri kar-gahh-e-dil mein abhi kaam hai zyaada
koi chiz ek jagah se zara kham hai zyaada

kisi manzar-e-shafaq ko kahan aankh mein jagah dun
mere khun-e-dil se rangin meri sham hai zyaada

ghadi-bhar thaharne wale zara ye khayal rakhna
ye jo saya-e-shajar hai koi dam hai zyaada

mera mashwara yahi hai isi raste se jaana
bada saf hai agarche kai gam hai zyaada

pade hain bahut se mere abhi kaam na-mukammal
koi bojh jate din par sar-e-sham hai zyaada

koi jurm dusre ka mera ban gaya hai kaise
teri fard-e-jurm mein kyun mera nam hai zyaada

kabhi kucha-e-talab mein kabhi rah-e-zar-gari par
tera kar-e-husn ab kuchh sar-e-am hai zyaada

teri aankh mein jo 'shahin' labaalab bhara hua hai
kisi ek taraf se khali wahin jam hai zyaada
