jo motiyon ki talab ne kabhi udas kiya

rahta tha samne tera chehra khula hua

log dete rahe kya kya na dilase mujhko

ye ek abr ka TukDa kahan kahan barse

utar ke naw se bhi kab safar tamam hua

log dushman hue usi ke shakeb

gale mila na kabhi chand baKHt aisa tha

mujhe girna hai to main apne hi qadmon mein girun

bhigi hui ek sham ki dahliz pe baiThe

na itni tez chale sar-phiri hawa se kaho

bad-qismati ko ye bhi gawara na ho saka

pahle to meri yaad se aai haya unhen

koi is dil ka haal kya jaane

shakeb apne taaruf ke liye ye baat kafi hai

jahan talak bhi ye sahra dikhai deta hai
