silsila to kar qasid us talak rasai ka
dukh saha nahin jata yar ki judai ka

jab zara mahak aai shakh mein lachak aai
baghban ko dhyan aaya bagh ki safai ka

farba tha tawana tha tera jaana-mana tha
jis pe tu hua shaida launda hai qasai ka

sar pe pair rakhta hai mujh se bair rakhta hai
main ne kab kiya dawa tujh se aashnai ka

doston mein than jati thi ye us ki nadani
dushmanon ke hath aata mauqa jag-hansai ka

har koi pareshan hai aasman se nalan hai
har kisi ko shikwa hai us ki kaj-adai ka

ye ajib shewa hai doston ka shikwa hai
har kisi ko dawa hai apni parsai ka

ai tamiz bas bhi kar is qadar na mar us par
kyun hai 'shauq' charraya tujh ko jubba-sai ka
