Kya phir ayenge laut kisi aur ko fanah kar ke.

Chain se to woh sote hain,

Neenden meri kharab karke

Shab o Rose kinse nahin milte hain,

Dil mera khak karke

Zeenat kahan naseeb unke badan ki,

Kyon milenge woh humse unhen naraz karke

Hain to qarib magar phir bhi pahasle hain,

Sukoon chin gaya yeh jan karke

Hum to jalte hain jalte hi rahenge,

Shola kyon kiya chingari ko bada karke

"Shahab" wafa ki ummid unse nahi karte,

Jo jante hain zindagi neelam karke.

chalo ek nazar dekha to sahi.

Mana ki Naqab lazmi hai ghairon ke samne

Shub baghair chandni hai benaqab ho to sahi.

Khat bheja hai ki khat phirse likhoon,

Udhar se jawab koi aye to sahi.

Phool hathon mein mere hain unke liye,

Phoo ko Phool nazar aye to sahi.

Qayam rah mein mumkin hai magar,

Koi awaz de ke bulaye to sahi.

Tashnigi hai ki bhujti hi nahin,

Koi aankhon se pilaye to sahi.

"Shahab" khwahish hai ki phir unse milein,

Koi bahana milne ka mile to sahi.

Ashk de ke meri aankhon mein woh khoob mahakte honge.

Ab bhi behta hai meri ragon mein tere wadon ka lahoo,

Tujhe Fikr kyon ho auron se bhi kiye honge.

Intiha ho gai Ishq ke apni ibtida se pehle.

Ek main hi nahin Usshaq aur bhi rahe honge.

Ban gai muhabbat ab to maash is zamane mein

Ai husne rawan aise hi ilzaam ab tere sar honge.

Aarzooen aise mein sab choor huin sab "Shahab" ki

Jab mashooq ke shonaon pe daste ghair dekhe honge.

When my gashes crash everyday

Drown me in dark abysmal bay.

Where Melancholy snarls not to stray

Thousands of victims subjected to decay.

I sternly oppose her dauntless foray

Condemns prison and start to pray.

Curse it's aggression covers their way

And appeals her don't put delay.

She quietly murmurs and patiently say

I lull deceived battered by Gray.

That expelled to perish from Lay

Narrated by their beloved false way.

So my darkness of illusion removed

I happily stay there and bloomed.

Could fall in love, never thought,

Could rely you, never thought.

My Heart still quavers you,

Could not be listened, never thought.

Took wounds of moans,

Could not be prescribed, never thought.

Roaming hither and thither,

Could be loony, never thought.

Having smattering of your`s heart,

Could be destitute, never thought.

"Shahab" passing in bright,

love obscure you never thought

Whenever a bleak taken away from the river,

it thinks of you a sheerer.

Be blest, denying snarling,

that'why u will be one's deerer.

Since our ways coincide,

The moon and sun is on my side.

Wherever you are,

These will be near and tide.

Worry of profession, Love or relation;

What do u prefer in motion.

Show parity in every condition,

Whether it is mirth or sensation.

Wherever you go,

You find me so.

The valleys have my arms,

Te clouds have Eyebrow.

It's useless to hide,

The caves have my shadow.

How be happy with the Air,

My breath lies in it's blow.

Never endeavor to cross the river,

I float in it's flow.

"I retrospect u so.

None instance u find in the glow.

Wherever you go,

You find me so.

Me smudged, thou surmise,

Me plausible, ye apprise.

Neither hatred nor Scapegrace,

Me Copious, ye apprise.

Don't aggravate myself,

Me Acumen, ye apprise.

Mean not roving about you,

Need a glimpse, ye apprise.

Make Pretexts, Thou retrospect,

Will accompany you, ye apprise.

Every thing is vivid, nothing conceal,

"Shahab" Transparent, ye apprise.

But when I brought to remembrance

My heart cries

Times best jewel I met

Safe and fresh kept in my chest

My amethyst

I saw u in the mist
