kahan kahan pe lage zakhm kya dikhaun use
main kis zaban se kahun haal-e-dil sunaun use

wo mujh ko bhul ke duniya basa chuka hai magar
main ab bhi soch raha hun ki bhul jaun use

har ek shab main yahi sochta hun bistar par
jo ahd khud se kiya hai kabhi nibhaun use

ana ne ishq ke pairon mein dal di zanjir
main naz kaise karun raqs kar dikhaun use

mera ghurur meri rah ki rukawat hai
main sirf soch raha hun ki ab hataun use

kase na tana use tamkanat se tez hua
charagh bujh gaya jo khun se jalaun use

gulab kaise khilaen agar ho sakht zamin
hunar ghazal ka ye 'shadab' main sikhaun use
