kya subh se gharaz meri kya sham se gharaz
ai khush-ada hai mujh ko tere kaam se gharaz

ek bandagi ke shahr ke masruf-e-kar ko
tarif se gharaz hai na dushnam se gharaz

ai irtiqa-mizaj tujhe aisa kya hua
wabasta ho gai teri auham se gharaz

main to musafir-e-rah-e-ali-nasib hun
asbab ke liye mujhe har kaam se gharaz

bas itna jaan lijiye sachchai ke tufail
shair hun kuchh to hai mujhe ibham se gharaz

jo mast-e-shad-kaam ho fikron ke darmiyan
us ke labon ko kyon ho mai-o-jam se gharaz

'shaariq' mulazmat ka hai ye aakhiri padaw
kyon ho ab ikhtilaf ke hangam se gharaz
