meri zindagi ka hai inhisar gul-o-saman ke nikhaar par

meri zindagi ka hai inhisar gul-o-saman ke nikhaar par
main chaman mein chahe jahan rahun mera haq hai fasl-e-bahaar par
hai junun bhi chaak-e-qaba bhi hai wahi qaid-o-band ki sakhtiyan
hai zamane bhar ke sitam rawa meri ek zat-e-figar par


mera bagh khar-e-nigah-e-shab mera shahr sab ki nazar mein hai
jo bala chali to thahar gai isi ek ujde dayar par
rahi waqf-e-gham meri zindagi magar ek baat ki hai khushi
ki meri hayat ka qafila chala samt-e-jalwa-e-yar par


mera dil udas hai 'shad' zagh-o-zaghan ke shor ke darmiyan
meri aankh chashma-e-khun hui hai chaman ki haalat-e-zar par
