hawa ka jal bhala tut kar bikharta kya
meri sada ka parinda udan bharta kya

na dast-o-pa hi salamat rahe na sar baqi
ab is se badh ke koi saneha guzarta kya

ki us ne tar-e-takhatub ko na-gahan chheda
ulajh ke rah gai aawaz sur ubharta kya

bikharte tutte rishton ka sakht-jaan manzar
bichhadte waqt main aankhon mein qaid karta kya

laraz rahi thi andhere ki sidhiyan sari
dayar-e-shab mein ujala koi utarta kya

kanar-e-ab khada sochta raha 'shahzad'
jo naqsh dub chuka tha wo phir ubharta kya
