mohabbat ke rangin mausam na badle
zamana to badla magar hum na badle

hasin hai bahut silsila sham-e-gham ka
agar aap ki zulf-e-barham na badle

hai dilkash bahut misl-e-gesu-e-jaanan
khudaya ye kaifiyyat-e-gham na badle

ye shokh aankhen har samt chehron ki jannat
dua kijiye ab ye aalam na badle

mahakti rahengi sitaron ki faslen
agar mausam-e-chashm-e-pur-nam na badle

khirad ne diye kitne paigham lekin
kisi tarah bhi ibn-e-adam na badle

nikharti rahi gardish-e-waqt paiham
hasinon ke gesu-e-pur-kham na badle

ghazal yun hi 'shabbir' kahta rahun main
meri sher-goi ka aalam na badle
