nikal kar zabt ki had se fughan tak baat ja pahunchi
khabar bhi hai dil-e-nadan kahan tak baat ja pahunchi

sitam hai dil-lagi hai imtihan tak baat ja pahunchi
kahan se baat nikli thi kahan tak baat ja pahunchi

nikal aae sitare meri uljhan ke tamashe ko
zamin walon ki kyunkar aasman tak baat ja pahunchi

zamane bhar mein jo charcha hai mere khun-e-nahaq ka
wahan tak hashr barpa hai jahan tak baat ja pahunchi

unhen ai ‘shad’ ruswai ka apni kya khayal aaya
nikal kar gunge dil se jab zaban tak baat ja pahunchi
