ghar se be-parda pari-ru jo nikal jate hain
dekhne walon ke iman badal jate hain

aasman karta hai jo chashm-e-inayat apni
rang patjhad ke bahaaron mein badal jate hain

apni nazron se jo girte hain sambhalte hi nahin
thokaren kha ke to raste mein sambhal jate hain

amn ki shakh pe baithe hue panchhi sare
shar-pasandon ki shararat se dahal jate hain

zahr bhar deta hai lahje mein sulagta mausam
guftugu karne ke andaz badal jate hain

gher leta hai hamein abr teri yaadon ka
hum charaghon ki tarah sham se jal jate hain

hasraten khak jo ho jati hain ai 'shad' yahan
pet ki aag mein iman bhi jal jate hain
