rukh-e-raushan ko be-naqab na kar
dil ki duniya mein inqalab na kar

aaina rakh na samne us ke
husn khud-bin ko la-jawab na kar

chaar-su jalwa-gar tu hi tu hai
aaina-khana mein hijab na kar

mere naghmon mein kaif-e-gham bhar de
mujh ko minnat-kash-e-rabab na kar

meri akhtar-shumariyan mat puchh
apne wadon ka kuchh hisab na kar

bakht-dazon ko ro raha hun main
gham-zada par falak azab na kar

rah-e-pur-khar hai abhi dar-pesh
aablon ka abhi hisab na kar

'shauq' hai tera muntazir kab se
ab to surat dikha hijab na kar
