hum aziz is qadar ab ji ka ziyan rakhte hain
ham aziiz is qadar ab jī kā ziyāñ rakhte haiñ
dost bhī rakhte haiñ to dushman-e-jāñ rakhte haiñ
tab.an insān to dil-dāda-e-fasl-e-gul hai
ham ajab log haiñ jo zauq-e-ḳhizāñ rakhte haiñ
āriz-e-gul ho lab-e-yār ho jām-e-mai ho
jism jal uThtā hai ham hoñT jahāñ rakhte haiñ
vāqi.a ye bhī hai haq baat nahīñ kah sakte
ye bhī da.avā hai bajā muñh meñ zabāñ rakhte haiñ
jis jagah dil thā vahāñ hasrat-e-dil baaqī hai
jis jagah zaḳhm thā ab ek nishāñ rakhte haiñ
ham se kar jaatā hai vo shaḳhs fareb āḳhir-kār
jis ke baare meñ bhī ham nek gumāñ rakhte haiñ
'shaukat' uslūb-e-ġhazal hai muta.ayyan tāham
is meñ ham munfarid andāz-e-bayāñ rakhte haiñ
hum aziz is qadar ab ji ka ziyan rakhte hain
dost bhi rakhte hain to dushman-e-jaan rakhte hain
taban insan to dil-dada-e-fasl-e-gul hai
hum ajab log hain jo zauq-e-KHizan rakhte hain
aariz-e-gul ho lab-e-yar ho jam-e-mai ho
jism jal uThta hai hum honT jahan rakhte hain
waqia ye bhi hai haq baat nahin kah sakte
ye bhi dawa hai baja munh mein zaban rakhte hain
jis jagah dil tha wahan hasrat-e-dil baqi hai
jis jagah zaKHm tha ab ek nishan rakhte hain
hum se kar jata hai wo shaKHs fareb aaKHir-kar
jis ke bare mein bhi hum nek guman rakhte hain
'shaukat' uslub-e-ghazal hai mutayyan taham
is mein hum munfarid andaz-e-bayan rakhte hain
