bahut dushwar rasta ho gaya hai
safar ab jasta jasta ho gaya hai

ana jhukne nahin deti thi jis ko
wahi ab dast-basta ho gaya hai

tumhaara chahne wala hun main bhi
mera dil bhi shikasta ho gaya

kahan le aai hai baunon ki sohbat
hamara qad bhi pasta ho gaya hai

kabhi wo sahib-e-uslub hoga
jo ab lahje se khasta ho gaya hai

janab-e-‘shan’ ka ab jhonpada bhi
shikasta dar shikasta ho gaya hai
