kab tak kaDakti dhup mein aankhen jalaen hum
kab tak kaḌaktī dhuup meñ āñkheñ jalā.eñ ham
saaya dikhā.ī de to kahīñ baiTh jaa.eñ ham
miTtī nahīñ kisī se bhī qurbat kī dūriyāñ
gar kho gayā ho tū to tujhe DhūñD laa.eñ ham
be-nūr ho chalī haiñ tamannā kī bastiyāñ
kab tak charāg-e-yād-e-guzishta jalā.eñ ham
terā vajūd biitī huī zindagī kī yaad
tū aa chuke to shahr meñ dhūmeñ machā.eñ ham
sau tarah kī bahār hai sau rañg kī ḳhizāñ
is dil kī vus.atoñ meñ kahīñ kho na jaa.eñ ham
har sāneha pukār ke kahtā hai chup raho
kab tak diloñ kī baat zabāñ tak na laa.eñ ham
is shahr-e-ḳhāmushī meñ koī jāgtā bhī ho
'shahzād' kis ko sub.h kā muzhda sunā.eñ ham
kab tak kaDakti dhup mein aankhen jalaen hum
saya dikhai de to kahin baiTh jaen hum
miTti nahin kisi se bhi qurbat ki duriyan
gar kho gaya ho tu to tujhe DhunD laen hum
be-nur ho chali hain tamanna ki bastiyan
kab tak charag-e-yaad-e-guzishta jalaen hum
tera wajud biti hui zindagi ki yaad
tu aa chuke to shahr mein dhumen machaen hum
sau tarah ki bahaar hai sau rang ki KHizan
is dil ki wusaton mein kahin kho na jaen hum
har saneha pukar ke kahta hai chup raho
kab tak dilon ki baat zaban tak na laen hum
is shahr-e-KHamushi mein koi jagta bhi ho
'shahzad' kis ko subh ka muzhda sunaen hum
