hamesha jitne wala kabhi to haara bhi ho
mohabbaton mein koi faisla hamara bhi ho

main is kinare pe baitha hun aur sochta hun
meri giraft mein dariya ka wo kinara bhi ho

ye shahr chhodna mushkil to hai magar sar-e-dast
kisi ko mera thaharna yahan gawara bhi ho

mujhe qubul nahin tohmat-e-dua aur wo
ye chahta hai kisi ne use pukara bhi ho

main aaftab nahin hun magar kabhi 'shahzad'
mere madar mein us shakhs ka sitara bhi ho
