libas gard ka aur jism nur ka nikla
tamam wahm hi apne shuur ka nikla

jo apne aap se badh kar hamara apna tha
use qarib se dekha to dur ka nikla

badan ke par utarte hi khul gain aankhen
suragh tere sarapa se tur ka nikla

sabhi nishaniyan us shakhs par khari utrin
jo bhul kar bhi kabhi zikr hur ka nikla

uthe jo hath meri sangsariyon ke liye
har ek dast-e-inayat huzur ka nikla

na-jaane bhul gaya kaun kab kahan likh kar
mita sa naqsh main bainassutur ka nikla

jo dana dana fana fasl-e-arzu ka hua
tamam fitna malakh aur mor ka nikla

giraft-e-fan se na aazad ho saka 'shadab'
khayal-e-taza karishma bahur ka nikla
