mausam ke pas koi khabar mo'atabar bhi ho
mauj-e-hawa ke sath tera nama-bar bhi ho

sun lega teri chap to dhadkega der tak
lakh apne gird-o-pesh se dil be-khabar bhi ho

arzan se log bhagte us ko to gham nahin
lazim nahin ki husn mein husn-e-nazar bhi ho

barson se jis makan mein meri bud-o-bash hai
ab kya ye lazmi hai wahi mera ghar bhi ho

sustae jis ke sae mein har aarzu meri
is dil ke sahn mein koi aisa shajar bhi ho

shah-rah-e-raushni pe chala hai jo mere sath
tarik raston mein mera ham-safar bhi ho

kitne hi phul chehre dhuan ban ke rah gae
is sanehe se kash koi ba-khabar bhi ho

us ke liye to daw pe khud ko laga den hum
tadbir wo batao ki jo kargar bhi ho

jage hue gulon hi se 'shabnam' ko pyar hai
mumkin hai koi shai tere zer-e-asar bhi ho
