mitti ka jism aur saf-e-mo'atabar mein hai
kitna bada kamal kaf-e-kuza-gar mein hai

aisi hawas chhipi hui qalb-e-bashar mein hai
ghar mein hain aur wusat-e-duniya nazar mein hai

shauq-e-sukhan-wari ko mitata main kis tarah
ye to rachi-basi mere qalb-o-jigar mein hai

mil jae be-qarar ko lutf-e-sukun-e-dil
aisi to bas misal khuda hi ke ghar mein hai

tum ko tumhaari manzil-e-maqsud mil gai
apna to karwan abhi gard-e-safar mein hai

pahnun main kaise atlas-o-kamkhwab ke libas
suraj ghurub hone ka manzar nazar mein hai

chhu lega 'shad' tu bhi kisi roz aasman
wo azm aur wo josh tere baal-o-par mein hai
