giit hariyaali ke gaaeinge sisakte hue khet — Parvez Shahidi

ye taaj ke saae mein zar-o-sim ke khirman
kyuun aatish-e-kashkol-e-gadaa se nahin Darte

miri zindagi ki zinat hui aafat-o-balaa se
main vo zulf-e-kham-ba-kham huun jo sanvar gai havaa se

na jaane kah gae kyaa aap muskuraane mein
hai dil ko naaz ki jaan aa gai fasaane mein

abhi se subh-e-gulshan raqs-farmaa hai nigaahon mein
abhi puuri naqaab ulTi nahin hai shaam-e-sahraa ne

yaad hain aap ke toDe hue paimaan ham ko
kijiye aur na sharminda-e-ehsaan ham ko

guzraa hai kaun phuul khilaataa khiraam se
'shaadaab' aaj raahguzar paa rahaa huun main
