ab na wo shor na wo shor machane wale
ab na vo shor na vo shor machāne vaale
ḳhaak se baiTh ga.e ḳhaak uḌāne vaale
ye alag baat mayassar lab-e-goyā na huā
dil meñ vo dhuum ki sunte haiñ zamāne vaale
kisī manzil kī taraf koī qadam uTh na sakā
apne hī paañv kī zanjīr the jaane vaale
dil sā vahshī kabhī qaabū meñ na aayā yaaro
haar kar baiTh ga.e jaal bichhāne vaale
din kī kajlā.ī huī dhuup meñ kyā dekhte haiñ
shaam hote hī pareshāñ nazar aane vaale
jalva-e-husn sazā-vār-e-nazar ho na sakā
kuchh nahīñ dekh sake aañkh uThāne vaale
yād-e-ayyām ke darvāze se mat jhāñk mujhe
aañkh se duur na ho dil meñ samāne vaale
terī qurbat meñ guzāre hue kuchh lamhe haiñ
dil ko tanhā.ī kā ehsās dilāne vaale
inhī jhoñkoñ se hai 'shahzād' chamak āñkhoñ meñ
yahī jhoñke haiñ charāġhoñ ko bujhāne vaale
ab na wo shor na wo shor machane wale
KHak se baiTh gae KHak uDane wale
ye alag baat mayassar lab-e-goya na hua
dil mein wo dhum ki sunte hain zamane wale
kisi manzil ki taraf koi qadam uTh na saka
apne hi panw ki zanjir the jaane wale
dil sa wahshi kabhi qabu mein na aaya yaro
haar kar baiTh gae jal bichhane wale
din ki kajlai hui dhup mein kya dekhte hain
sham hote hi pareshan nazar aane wale
jalwa-e-husn saza-war-e-nazar ho na saka
kuchh nahin dekh sake aankh uThane wale
yaad-e-ayyam ke darwaze se mat jhank mujhe
aankh se dur na ho dil mein samane wale
teri qurbat mein guzare hue kuchh lamhe hain
dil ko tanhai ka ehsas dilane wale
inhi jhonkon se hai 'shahzad' chamak aankhon mein
yahi jhonke hain charaghon ko bujhane wale
