hadson ne hi mujh ko pala hai
rup rang is liye nirala hai

us ki chup ne bata diya tha saf
dagh daman pe lagne wala hai

kuchh to apni zaban daraaz karo
kyon pada lab pe tere tala hai

aankh ke gird jo ye halqe hain
hijr ke ratjagon ka haala hai

dar-o-diwar zist ke hain hile
aisa apnon ne rakhna dala hai

warna 'shaim' kabhi ke mar jate
gham-e-dauran ne hi sanbhaala hai
