yaad rah jaen jo wo lafz-o-maani rakhna
apni tahrir mein dariya ki rawani rakhna

main chala aaunga bahke hue mausam ki tarah
tum mere nam koi sham suhani rakhna

log puchhen to koi baat na kahna un se
dil mein poshida har ek gham ki kahani rakhna

main jise dekh ke andaza laga lun tera
apne nazdik koi aisi nishani rakhna

ye to hum hain jo tujhe sath rakha hai 'shaariq'
warna aasan to nahin dushman-e-jaani rakhna
