Tumhaara naam bhi sun lun to roushni ho jaye

Ghubaar-e-tab’ mein thoRi bahut kami ho jaye

Tumhaara naam bhi sun lun to roushni ho jaye

Zara khayaal karo! waqt kis Qadar kam hai

MaiN jo Qadam bhi uThaluN woh aakhri ho jaye

QaymaateiN to hameshaa guzartii rahtii haiN

‘azaab us ke liye jis ko aa-gahee ho jaye

Guzar rahe haiN mere raat din laRaayii meiN

MaiN sochta huN K mujh ko shikast hi ho jaye

Ajeeb shaksh hai! tabdeeel hi nahii hotaa!

Jo us ke saath rahe chand din, wohii ho jaye

Meraa naseeb kinaaraa ho yaa samundar ho

Jo hogayii hai to lahroN se dushmani ho jaye

Tamaam umr to doori mein kaT gayi merii!!

Na jaane kya ho? agar uss se dosti ho jaye

Bus aek waqt mein saari balaayeiN TooT paRiN

Agar safar ye kaThin hai to raat bhi ho jaye

MaiN so na jauN, jo aasaaniyaaN muyassar hoN

MaiN mar na jauN, agar khatm tishnagi ho jaye

Nahi zaroor, K ooNchii ho aasmaanoN se!!

Yehi bahut hai zamiiN paoN par khaRi ho jaye

Tamaam umr simaT aayi hai ek lamhay meiN

MaiN chahta hun K hona hai jo abhi ho jaye

Wohi huN maiN! wohi imkaN ke khel haiN Shahzad

Kabhi feraar bhi mumkin na ho, kabhi ho jaye
