nahin milte 'shuur' aansu bahate
nazar aate hain hanste-muskuraate

wo ghanton baithte hain doston mein
magar dekha akele aate jate

nikal jate hain na-malum jaanib
wo gird-o-pesh se nazren bachate

jise kahte hain log ummul-khabais
rahe un ke usi se rishte-nate

wo kya jinnat se karte hain baaten
unhen paya gaya hai budbudate

utha pae na apna bojh bhi wo
bhala kya dusron ke kaam aate

ayan tha be-khudi se haal un ka
koi kya puchhta wo kya batate

bata lete hain mausam har tarah ka
anadil bostan mein rote gate

'shuur' aap aae hain milne sar-e-sham
hamare pas hoti to pilate
