zabt-e-nawak-e-gham se baat ban to sakti hai
zabt-e-nāvak-e-ġham se baat ban to saktī hai
aadmī kī uñglī meñ phāñs bhī khaTaktī hai
kyā kisī navāzish kī poll khol dī maiñ ne
aañkh jheñptī kyuuñ hai kyuuñ zabāñ bahaktī hai
ham-qafas nasīboñ se gulsitāñ kā kyā rishta
jis tarah koī Daalī TuuT kar laTaktī hai
sāthiyo thake-māñde hārte ho himmat kyuuñ
duur se koī manzil din meñ kab chamaktī hai
kaam azm-o-himmat se insirām paate haiñ
kāhilī kī mat suniye kāhilī to biktī hai
jis ko nik.hat-o-gul se vāsta nahīñ hotā
ḳhush-libās phūloñ meñ vo nazar bahaktī hai
'shād' in añdheroñ meñ kahkashāñ kī manzil se
raat ke guzarne kī sub.h raah taktī hai
zabt-e-nawak-e-gham se baat ban to sakti hai
aadmi ki ungli mein phans bhi khaTakti hai
kya kisi nawazish ki poll khol di main ne
aankh jhenpti kyun hai kyun zaban bahakti hai
ham-qafas nasibon se gulsitan ka kya rishta
jis tarah koi Dali TuT kar laTakti hai
sathiyo thake-mande haarte ho himmat kyun
dur se koi manzil din mein kab chamakti hai
kaam azm-o-himmat se insiram pate hain
kahili ki mat suniye kahili to bikti hai
jis ko nikhat-o-gul se wasta nahin hota
KHush-libas phulon mein wo nazar bahakti hai
'shad' in andheron mein kahkashan ki manzil se
raat ke guzarne ki subh rah takti hai
