jo zindagi bachi hai use khar kya karen
hum bhi tumhaare hote magar yar kya karen

hain band sab dukanen ki bazar-e-ishq mein
milta nahin hai hum sa kharidar kya karen

ladte rahe hawa se jalate rahe charagh
ab aur raushni ke talabgar kya karen

ahbab chal diye tere darbar ki taraf
aur hum ki aa gae hain sar-e-dar kya karen

sidhi si baat ye hai hamein tum se pyar hai
sheron mein is khayal ki takrar kya karen

hum jaan de chuke hain kai bar ishq mein
ab ye batao 'shad' ki is bar kya karen
