mujh ko dar hai kahin aisa dil-e-nakaam na ho
ishq aaghaz hi aaghaz ho anjam na ho

gardish-e-jam to ho gardish-e-ayyam na ho
ye koi baat hui subh to ho sham na ho

daman-e-sham ki rangin fazao dekho
koi aashufta-sar-e-husn sar-e-baam na ho

kar diya kya ye mere zauq-e-talab ne mujh ko
nam par tere guman hai ki mera nam na ho

khud-numai ke karam had se siwa hain 'shadan'
ab mera shauq kahin morid-e-ilzam na ho
