khwab nadim hain ki tabir dikhane se gae
sae sae meri nindon ke sirhane se gae

yun bhi wo dil ho ki dirham pe khula rahta hai
apni ek waz-e-junun thi ki bahane se gae

rakh alaw ki ye bikhri hui jangal ki ye sham
kya zamane gae kya log zamane se gae

koi taswir sar-e-ab uthata hai bhala
ab hamein dhundhte kya ho ki uthane se gae

'shaz-ji' ishq mein aisa hi hua karta hai
tum hue qais hue donon thikane se gae
