zati muamlat se bahar ka kuchh kaho
tum katib-e-hayat se bahar ka kuchh kaho

bezar ho gai hun purane khitab se
is bar kaenat se bahar ka kuchh kaho

taftish ho rahi hai mere fan pe in dinon
tum log meri zat se bahar ka kuchh kaho

rahne do apni pahli mohabbat ka tazkira
ya'ni ki pul-siraat se bahar ka kuchh kaho

khush-fahmiyon ki jal se niklo zara si der
ab husn-e-sha’eraat se bahar ka kuchh kaho

daur-e-jadidiyat mein purana ye falsafa
aisa hai to lughat se bahar ka kuchh kaho

tum bolne ke fan mein to mahir ho 'shaziya'
lekin zara sifat se bahar ka kuchh kaho
