guzra hai is ada se kuchh jata hua ye sal bhi

guzrā hai is adā se kuchh jaatā huā ye saal bhī

dil ko ḳhushī ke saath saath hotā rahā malāl bhī

kitnī kaThin rasā.ī thī tere dayār tak mirī

dekhte hī jise pukārā tū use nikāl bhī

ham ko bulāo tum kisī roz kisī na.e nagar

gar ye nahīñ durust aa sakte ho sāhī-vall bhī

taalā lagā zabān par ḳhvāhish-e-vasl bhī ga.ī

pūchhe jo bazm-e-ġhair meñ aap hamārā haal bhī

vo bhī zamāna thā tū aa jaatā thā shab se peshtar

kaisī ye shab hai aaj aaya na tirā ḳhayāl bhī

mujh ko patā hai 'shobī' sab haal mire sitāroñ kā

ḳhalvatoñ meñ guzarnā hai aatā huā ye saal bhī

guzra hai is ada se kuchh jata hua ye sal bhi

dil ko KHushi ke sath sath hota raha malal bhi

kitni kaThin rasai thi tere dayar tak meri

dekhte hi jise pukara tu use nikal bhi

hum ko bulao tum kisi roz kisi nae nagar

gar ye nahin durust aa sakte ho sahi-wall bhi

tala laga zaban par KHwahish-e-wasl bhi gai

puchhe jo bazm-e-ghair mein aap hamara haal bhi

wo bhi zamana tha tu aa jata tha shab se peshtar

kaisi ye shab hai aaj aaya na tera KHayal bhi

mujh ko pata hai 'shobi' sab haal mere sitaron ka

KHalwaton mein guzarna hai aata hua ye sal bhi
