nazar-nawaz nazaron mein ji nahin lagta
wo kya gae ki bahaaron mein ji nahin lagta

shab-e-firaq ko ai chand aa ke chamka de
nazar udas hai taron mein ji nahin lagta

gham-e-hayat ke mare to hum bhi hain lekin
gham-e-hayat ke maron mein ji nahin lagta

na puchh mujh se tere gham mein kya guzarti hai
yahi kahunga hazaron mein ji nahin lagta

kuchh is qadar hai gham-e-zindagi se dil mayus
khizan gai to bahaaron mein ji nahin lagta

fasana-e-shab-e-gham khatm hone wala hai
'shakil' chand sitaron mein ji nahin lagta
