bakht-bargashta hain aise jo hawas kar dekhen
khak hath aae agar khwab mein bhi zar dekhen

bad-nasibi yahi kahti hai jahan zar dekhen
idhar aaiye aap aur koi ghar dekhen

har-nafas kuch hai aankhon mein hai dam misl-e-habab
hashr par wada-e-didar hai kyunkar dekhen

hum wo mai-khwar hain juz baada-kashi rah na de
istikhara bhi agar tauba-e-mai par dekhen

putliyan be-ajal aankhon ki meri phir jaen
mardum-e-chashm ko de kar jo wo chakkar dekhen

dekhna hai jo unhen meri siyah-kari-e-dil
kisi shishe mein siyahi ko kaho bhar dekhen

be-qararon mein wo bekas hain ki roe na koi
hum tadap kar bhi jo pare ki tarah mar dekhen

sada-ruyon se ye qaul-e-dil-e-be-ishq hai 'shad'
aap ai aaina-ru aur koi ghar dekhen
