shab-e-gham ko sahar karna padega
qayamat tak safar karna padega

sawa neze pe suraj aa gaya hai
ye din bhi ab basar karna padega

ye aankhen sipiyan hain is liye bhi
har aansu ko guhar karna padega

bahut luta hai dil ko aagahi ne
ise ab be-khabar karna padega

kahan tak dar-ba-dar phirte rahenge
tumhaare dil mein ghar karna padega

sitare kaj-rawi par aa gae hain
jahan zer-o-zabar karna padega

mohabbat kaam hi aisa hai 'shahzad'
na chahenge magar karna padega
