teri yaaden hain dil mein phir bhi virani si rahti hai
khuda jaane ajab lahaq pareshani si rahti hai

badan par lakh kapde hon magar phir bhi barahna hai
agar insan ke zehn-o-dil mein uryani si rahti hai

yahi achchha hai insan ke liye insan ka dil rakhna
dukhane se kisi ka dil pashemani si rahti hai

khirad-mandi zamane mein ajab eajaz rakhti hai
main jab bhi sochta hun ghanton hairani si rahti hai

main tanha hun magar ehsas-e-tanhai nahin mujh ko
ki dil mein ek surat jaani-pahchani si rahti hai

kabhi ai kash wo mil jae mujh ko aisa ho jae
tamanna mere dil mein ek anjaani si rahti hai

mujhe 'shahzad' teri dosti se dar sa lagta hai
teri aankhon mein poshida jo nadani si rahti hai
