wo sanam khugar-e-wafa na hua
ye bhi achchha hua bura na hua

aa gaya lutf zindagani ka
dard jo qabil-e-dawa na hua

umr bhar hum juda rahe us se
hum se dam bhar bhi jo juda na hua

kahe deti hain sharam-gin nazren
kya hua raat aur kya na hua

'shauq' ne likkhe sainkadon daftar
harf-e-matlab magar ada na hua
