har shab khayal-e-ghair ke mare alag-thalag
aate hain khwab mein wo hamare alag-thalag

gar ghair sath saye ke surat na tha to kyun
misl-e-saba chaman se sidhaare alag-thalag

bulbul wo hun ki fasl ke pahle hi baghban
leta hai bagh jis ka ijare alag-thalag

dam-e-bala mein phanste hain aap aa ke saikdon
wo but hazar baal sanware alag-thalag

ai gul tujhe kisi ki na mutlaq khabar hui
ghunche chatak chatak ke pukare alag-thalag

khalwat mein bhi jo aae hain jalwat ka zikr kya
baithe hue hain sharm ke mare alag-thalag

pesh-e-nazar shabih-e-khayali hai apni 'shad'
naqshe jame hue hain hamare alag-thalag
