jiye jaenge hum bhi lab pe dam jab tak nahin aata
jiye jā.eñge ham bhī lab pe dam jab tak nahīñ aatā
hameñ bhī dekhnā hai nāma-bar kab tak nahīñ aatā
pahuñchnā thā jo arz-e-hāl ko arsh-e-muazzam tak
ka.ī shab se vahī naala mire lab tak nahīñ aatā
dil apnā vādi-e-ġhurbat meñ shāyad mar rahā jā kar
na aane kī bhī ik mī.ād hai kab tak nahīñ aatā
vahāñ auroñ ke qissoñ ko bhī sun kar vo khaTakte haiñ
yahāñ apnī zabāñ par harf-e-matlab tak nahīñ aatā
yahāñ tak sīna-tañgī se za.iif o zaar hai naala
chalā jo sub.h ko vo tā-ba-lab shab tak nahīñ aatā
jahāñ tamhīd kī vo aur qisse chheḌ detā hai
kisī sūrat se zālim harf-e-matlab tak nahīñ aatā
bulā bhejeñ na jab tak 'shād' ko vo apne kūche meñ
ijāra hai tirā ai shauq haañ tab tak nahīñ aatā
jiye jaenge hum bhi lab pe dam jab tak nahin aata
hamein bhi dekhna hai nama-bar kab tak nahin aata
pahunchna tha jo arz-e-haal ko arsh-e-muazzam tak
kai shab se wahi nala mere lab tak nahin aata
dil apna wadi-e-ghurbat mein shayad mar raha ja kar
na aane ki bhi ek miad hai kab tak nahin aata
wahan auron ke qisson ko bhi sun kar wo khaTakte hain
yahan apni zaban par harf-e-matlab tak nahin aata
yahan tak sina-tangi se zaif o zar hai nala
chala jo subh ko wo ta-ba-lab shab tak nahin aata
jahan tamhid ki wo aur qisse chheD deta hai
kisi surat se zalim harf-e-matlab tak nahin aata
bula bhejen na jab tak 'shad' ko wo apne kuche mein
ijara hai tera ai shauq han tab tak nahin aata
