nikal kar zabt ki had se fughan tak baat ja pahunchi

nikal kar zabt kī had se fuġhāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

ḳhabar bhī hai dil-e-nādāñ kahāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

sitam hai dil-lagī hai imtihāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

kahāñ se baat niklī thī kahāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

nikal aa.e sitāre merī uljhan ke tamāshe ko

zamīñ vāloñ kī kyūñkar āsmāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

zamāne bhar meñ jo charchā hai mere ḳhūn-e-nāhaq kā

vahāñ tak hashr barpā hai jahāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

unheñ ai ‘shād’ rusvā.ī kā apnī kyā ḳhayāl aaya

nikal kar gūñge dil se jab zabāñ tak baat jā pahuñchī

nikal kar zabt ki had se fughan tak baat ja pahunchi

KHabar bhi hai dil-e-nadan kahan tak baat ja pahunchi

sitam hai dil-lagi hai imtihan tak baat ja pahunchi

kahan se baat nikli thi kahan tak baat ja pahunchi

nikal aae sitare meri uljhan ke tamashe ko

zamin walon ki kyunkar aasman tak baat ja pahunchi

zamane bhar mein jo charcha hai mere KHun-e-nahaq ka

wahan tak hashr barpa hai jahan tak baat ja pahunchi

unhen ai ‘shad’ ruswai ka apni kya KHayal aaya

nikal kar gunge dil se jab zaban tak baat ja pahunchi
