hasrat-e-dil yun nikali jaegi

hasrat-e-dil yun nikali jaegi
aarzu mein jaan dali jaegi
aabru jab barmala li jaegi
ek nazar bhar ke chura li jaegi


aakhiri khwahish bhi tali jaegi
tegh kya un se sanbhaali jaegi
naz se duniya kama li jaegi
hath par sarson jama li jae gi


rehn-e-gulshan ho chala zauq-e-nihan
ab nazar sanche mein dhaali jaegi
kya khabar thi 'ishq ki ta'mir mein
dard ki buniyaad dali jaegi


ye to zahir tha ki bazm-e-husn mein
'ishq ki pagdi uchhaali jaegi
un ko apne bil-muqabil dekh kar
be-khudi kaise sanbhaali jaegi


dushmani ke zikr par mail hain wo
dosti ki baat tali jaegi
bazm-e-ulfat ki nazar mein khar hun
bad-nigahi mujh pe dhaali jaegi


'shad' rahte kat gai hai zindagi
nibh sakegi jo nibha li jaegi
