dosti ka fareb hi khaen
aao kaghaz ki naw tairaen

hum agar rah-rawi ka azm karen
manzilen khinch ke khud chali aaen

hum ko aamada-e-safar na karo
raste pur-khatar na ho jaen

ham-safar rah gae bahut pichhe
aao kuchh der ko thahar jaen

mutriba aisa git chhed ki hum
zindagi ke qarib ho jaen

in bahaaron ki aabru rakh lo
muskurao ki phul khil jaen

gesu-e-zist ke ye uljhaw
aao mil kar 'shakeb' suljhaen
