meri gahraiyan pal-bhar mein wo nayab kar dega
mujhe wo bazuon mein lega aur payab kar dega

ajab andaz hai us gul-badan ke pyar karne ka
mujhe patal tak le ja ke mahw-e-khwab kar dega

wo jab chahe jise chahe ghurur-e-ashnai de
nazar bhar kar jise dekhega wo surkhab kar dega

suna hai gul ki ranai rahegi jun-ki-tun lekin
jo sailab aaega khushbu ko zer-e-ab kar dega

'shanawar' qatra qatra bahti aankhon ka bhi kuchh socho!
ye aisa rog hai mitti teri be-ab kar dega
