wo pas aae aas bane aur palat gae
kitne hi parde aankhon ke aage se hat gae

har bagh mein bahaar hui khema-zan magar
daman ke sath sath yahan dil bhi phat gae

gumrahiyon ka lapka kuchh aisa pada ki hum
manzil qarib aai to rahbar se kat gae

dil de ke is tarah se tabiat sambhal gai
goya tamam umr ke jhagde nipat gae

barson ke pyase dasht-nawardon se puchhiye
un baadalon ka pyar jo ghirte hi chhat gae

bas mein rahen na jab gham-e-dauran ki wusaten
hum log apne gosha-e-dil mein simat gae

'shohrat' unhen bhulane ki koshish jo ki kabhi
daman-e-dil se sainkadon fitne lipat gae
