hosh wale to ulajhte hi rahe
raste tai hue diwanon se

Shaukat Pardesi

hudud-e-jism se aage baDhe to ye dekha
ki tishnagi thi barahna teri adaon tak

Shaukat Pardesi

husn-e-iKHlas hi nahin warna
aadmi aadmi to aaj bhi hai

Shaukat Pardesi

is faisle pe luT gai duniya-e-eatibar
sabit hua gunah gunahgar ke baghai

Shaukat Pardesi

---

jab maslahat-e-waqt se gardan ko jhuka kar
wo baat kare hai to koi tir lage hai

Shaukat Pardesi

---

---

ji mein aata hai ki 'shaukat' kisi chingari ko
kar dun phir shoala-ba-daman ki koi baat chale

Shaukat Pardesi

---

---

KHud wo karte hain jise ahd-e-wafa se tabir
sach to ye hai ki wo dhoka bhi mujhe yaad nahin
