chashm meri nahin bujhi hai abhi
in charaghon mein raushni hai abhi

us ko bhi pyas mere ishq ki hai
dil mein mere bhi tishnagi hai abhi

shayad us ko pata pata hai tera
kuchh hawa mujh se kah rahi hai abhi

guftugu ki jhijhak batati hai
tum mein ehsas-e-kamtari hai abhi

in pe naqqad ki nazar na padi
mere sheron mein tazgi hai abhi

na-mukammal hai ishq mein tu bhi
mere andar bhi kuchh kami hai abhi

bazm-e-yaran ki kya zarurat hai
mujh se tanhai bolti hai abhi

kis ki hain siskiyan hawaon mein
har taraf kaisi khamushi hai abhi

apni ghazlon ko do zaban 'shadab'
dastan ek an-kahi hai abhi
