khud-farebi hai dagha-bazi hai ayyari hai
aaj ke daur mein jina bhi adakari hai

tum jo pardes se aao to yaqin aa jae
ab ke barsat ye sunte hain badi pyari hai

mere aangan mein to kante bhi hare ho na sake
us ki chhat pe to mahakti hui phulwari hai

chudiyan kanch ki qatil na kahin ban jaen
sehr-angez buri un ki gulu-kari hai

kash bijli koi chamke koi baadal barse
aaj ki sham zaminon pe bahut bhaari hai

kha gai garmi-e-jazbaat ko rasmon ki hawa
aaj har shakhs faqat barf ki almari hai

main bhi radha se koi kam to nahin hun 'shabnam'
sanwle rang ka mera bhi to girdhaari hai
