naz wo bhi ek muTThi KHak par
naaz vo bhī ek muTThī ḳhaak par
uḌ rahe ho kāġhzī aflāk par
saaf aur shaffāf rakh kirdār ko
ġham na kar jo daaġh hai poshāk par
tanziya bāteñ tumhārī aaj bhī
naqsh haiñ mere dil-e-namnāk par
dar-haqīqat ḳhvāhishoñ ke ghaav haiñ
dosto is dāman-e-sad-chāk par
kyā pata kab dhokā de jaaye tujhe
mat bharosa rakh dil-e-chālāk par
ghūmtā hai mustaqil har aadmī
zindagī bhar zindagī ke chaak par
sar paTaktī haiñ havā.eñ aaj bhī
bebasī se karbalā kī ḳhaak par
daad ke saare khzāne vaar duuñ
'shād' tere lahja-e-be-bāk par
naz wo bhi ek muTThi KHak par
uD rahe ho kaghzi aflak par
saf aur shaffaf rakh kirdar ko
gham na kar jo dagh hai poshak par
tanziya baaten tumhaari aaj bhi
naqsh hain mere dil-e-namnak par
dar-haqiqat KHwahishon ke ghaw hain
dosto is daman-e-sad-chaak par
kya pata kab dhoka de jaye tujhe
mat bharosa rakh dil-e-chaalak par
ghumta hai mustaqil har aadmi
zindagi bhar zindagi ke chaak par
sar paTakti hain hawaen aaj bhi
bebasi se karbala ki KHak par
dad ke sare khzane war dun
'shad' tere lahja-e-be-bak par
