roz dil mein hasraton ko jalta bujhta dekh kar

roz dil meñ hasratoñ ko jaltā bujhtā dekh kar

thak chukā huuñ zindagī kā ye ravayya dekh kar

reza reza kar diyā jis ne mire ehsās ko

kis qadar hairān hai vo mujh ko yakjā dekh kar

kyā yahī mahdūd paikar hī haqīqat hai mirī

sochtā huuñ din Dhale ab apnā saaya dekh kar

kuchh talab meñ bhī izāfa kartī haiñ mahrūmiyāñ

pyaas kā ehsās baḌh jaatā hai sahrā dekh kar

mere ḳhvāboñ par bhī us ne naam apnā likh liyā

ab bhī kyuuñ ḳhāmosh huuñ maiñ ye tamāshā dekh kar

sach to ye hai sab ko apnī jaan pyārī hai yahāñ

uḌ ga.e saare parinde peḌ kaTtā dekh kar

'shād' jaane jī rahe ho kaun sī duniyā meñ tum

duniyā duniyā kar rahe ho ab bhī duniyā dekh kar

roz dil mein hasraton ko jalta bujhta dekh kar

thak chuka hun zindagi ka ye rawayya dekh kar

reza reza kar diya jis ne mere ehsas ko

kis qadar hairan hai wo mujh ko yakja dekh kar

kya yahi mahdud paikar hi haqiqat hai meri

sochta hun din Dhale ab apna saya dekh kar

kuchh talab mein bhi izafa karti hain mahrumiyan

pyas ka ehsas baDh jata hai sahra dekh kar

mere KHwabon par bhi us ne nam apna likh liya

ab bhi kyun KHamosh hun main ye tamasha dekh kar

sach to ye hai sab ko apni jaan pyari hai yahan

uD gae sare parinde peD kaTta dekh kar

'shad' jaane ji rahe ho kaun si duniya mein tum

duniya duniya kar rahe ho ab bhi duniya dekh kar
