sannata aawaz bana hai
dard ka yun izhaar hua hai

yaadon ne jab li hai karwat
zakhmon ka har band khula hai

is nagri ka rahne wala
qatl-e-wafa par khush lagta hai

khat padhne mein kanp rahe ho
aisa is mein kya likkha hai

barson ki ulfat ka rishta
ek lamhe mein tut gaya hai

yug yug se lamha bechaara
apni manzil dhund raha hai

'shauq' junun-e-ishq salamat
zanjiron ki kya parwa hai
