dasht-e-wahshat ne phir pukara hai
zindagi aaj tu gawara hai

dubne se bacha ke manjhi ne
dard ke ghat la utara hai

lakh tu mujh se hai magar mujh mein
kab teri ham-sari ka yara hai

baat apni ana ki hai warna
yun to do hath par kinara hai

dil ki gunjaan rahguzaron mein
karb-e-tanhai ka sahaara hai

log marte hain band aankhon se
hum ko is aagahi ne mara hai

jaan-e-'shahzad' zindagi ka safar
hum ne be-karwan guzara hai
