usko hamari zat se inkar bhi nahin
us ko hamārī zaat se inkār bhī nahīñ
lekin vo e'tirāf ko tayyār bhī nahīñ
roġhan charāġh-e-chashm meñ jitnā thā jal chukā
aur shahr-e-jāñ meñ sub.h ke āsār bhī nahīñ
be-kār DhūñDhte ho samā.at meñ ḳhāmiyāñ
pahlī sī ghuñgrūoñ meñ vo jhankār bhī nahīñ
do-chār pal qayām kā kuchh to javāz ho
kūche meñ us ke sāya-e-dīvār bhī nahīñ
tujh ko suḳhan-shanās ba-har-hāl chāhiye
'shādāb' terā koī taraf-dār bhī nahīñ
us ko hamari zat se inkar bhi nahin
lekin wo e'tiraf ko tayyar bhi nahin
roghan charagh-e-chashm mein jitna tha jal chuka
aur shahr-e-jaan mein subh ke aasar bhi nahin
be-kar DhunDhte ho samaat mein KHamiyan
pahli si ghungruon mein wo jhankar bhi nahin
do-chaar pal qayam ka kuchh to jawaz ho
kuche mein us ke saya-e-diwar bhi nahin
tujh ko suKHan-shanas ba-har-haal chahiye
'shadab' tera koi taraf-dar bhi nahin
