guzra hai is ada se kuchh jata hua ye sal bhi
dil ko khushi ke sath sath hota raha malal bhi

kitni kathin rasai thi tere dayar tak meri
dekhte hi jise pukara tu use nikal bhi

hum ko bulao tum kisi roz kisi nae nagar
gar ye nahin durust aa sakte ho sahi-wall bhi

tala laga zaban par khwahish-e-wasl bhi gai
puchhe jo bazm-e-ghair mein aap hamara haal bhi

wo bhi zamana tha tu aa jata tha shab se peshtar
kaisi ye shab hai aaj aaya na tera khayal bhi

mujh ko pata hai 'shobi' sab haal mere sitaron ka
khalwaton mein guzarna hai aata hua ye sal bhi
