jaan tanha azab kitne hain
mujh pe utre itab kitne hain

dil laga kar mili hai ruswai
main ye samjha sawab kitne hain

ai musafir zara dhiyan rahe
raste mein sarab kitne hain

hijr ki aag mein jale hain jo
mujh se khana-kharab kitne hain

bas tere intizar mein sukhe
yaad ke ab gulab kitne hain

jin ki tabir hi nahin kuchh bhi
wo suhane se khwab kitne hain

is jahan mein har ek qadam 'shahzad'
lene wale hisab kitne hain
