sabt hai chehron pe chup ban mein andhera ho chuka
sabt hai chehroñ pe chup ban meñ añdherā ho chukā
dekhne aa.e ho kyā logo tamāshā ho chukā
aabrū ke surḳh motī phir se kaale paḌ ga.e
jism ke andar lahū kā rañg piilā ho chukā
hasratoñ ke peḌ sab ke sar se ūñche ho ga.e
aarzū kā zaḳhm pahle se bhī gahrā ho chukā
phir mujhe nādīdanī zanjīr pahnā.ī ga.ī
ilm tak mujh ko nahīñ aur merā saudā ho chukā
bar-sar-e-paikār apne-āp se huuñ kyā karūñ
merā dushman bhī mirī miTTī se paidā ho chukā
kaise TuuTe haiñ diloñ ke bāhamī rishte na pūchh
hai nagar ābād aur har shaḳhs tanhā ho chukā
tum kahe jaate ho aisī fasl-e-gul aa.ī nahīñ
aur agar maiñ ye kahūñ sau baar aisā ho chukā
kaun huuñ maiñ apnī sūrat bhī na pahchānī ga.ī
ā.īna takte hue mujh ko zamāna ho chukā
dekhnā ye hai ki us ke māvarā kyā chiiz hai
ye umīd-o-bīm kā daftar purānā ho chukā
kab talak dil meñ jagah doge havā ke ḳhauf ko
bādbāñ kholo ki mausam kā ishāra ho chukā
ab zabāñ se bhī kaho 'shahzād' kyuuñ ḳhāmosh ho
dil meñ jo kuchh thā vo āñkhoñ se huvaidā ho chukā
sabt hai chehron pe chup ban mein andhera ho chuka
dekhne aae ho kya logo tamasha ho chuka
aabru ke surKH moti phir se kale paD gae
jism ke andar lahu ka rang pila ho chuka
hasraton ke peD sab ke sar se unche ho gae
aarzu ka zaKHm pahle se bhi gahra ho chuka
phir mujhe nadidani zanjir pahnai gai
ilm tak mujh ko nahin aur mera sauda ho chuka
bar-sar-e-paikar apne-ap se hun kya karun
mera dushman bhi meri miTTi se paida ho chuka
kaise TuTe hain dilon ke bahami rishte na puchh
hai nagar aabaad aur har shaKHs tanha ho chuka
tum kahe jate ho aisi fasl-e-gul aai nahin
aur agar main ye kahun sau bar aisa ho chuka
kaun hun main apni surat bhi na pahchani gai
aaina takte hue mujh ko zamana ho chuka
dekhna ye hai ki us ke mawara kya chiz hai
ye umid-o-bim ka daftar purana ho chuka
kab talak dil mein jagah doge hawa ke KHauf ko
baadban kholo ki mausam ka ishaara ho chuka
ab zaban se bhi kaho 'shahzad' kyun KHamosh ho
dil mein jo kuchh tha wo aankhon se huwaida ho chuka
