ab khayalon ka jahan aur na aabaad karen
khwab jo bhul chuke hain unhen bas yaad karen

thapki de de ke sulane ki hai aadat dil ko
ab kisi aur se kyun khud hi se fariyaad karen

kitne mausam ke chhalawe se guzar kar pahunchi
us dagar pe ki jahan log mujhe yaad karen

hum bhi ab fikr-e-jahan chhod ke ji bhar hans len
waqt itna bhi kahan hai jise barbaad karen

zindagi yun hi munazzam rahe aisa bhi nahin
hum nai tarz koi aur bhi ijad karen

dene wale ki mashiyyat thi jo wahshat de di
dil-e-viran jo mila hai use aabaad karen

dil ke tute hue tukdon ko na joden 'shahin'
dil pe jo guzri use bhul ke mat yaad karen
