sirf purkhon ke hawalon se nahin chalta hai
kaam mange ke ujalon se nahin chalta hai

baz auqat andheron ki talab hoti hai
kaam har-waqt ujalon se nahin chalta hai

ishq ke beach mein tu aql kahan le aaya
yar business ye dalalon se nahin chalta hai

bhai'shadab' suno sher-o-sukhan ka daftar
sirf mahbub ke galon se nahin chalta hai
