TuTe jo dant munh ki shabahat bigaD gai
wo ghar hua KHarab jahan phuT paD gai
wo zar hun jo sans dam-e-marg ukhaD gai
mayyat kanar-e-gor mein kanTe si gaD gai
DhunDho charagh le ke zaifon gali gali
gham ho gaya shabab jawani bichhaD gai
phulun phalun main kya chaman-e-rozgar mein
main wo nihaal-e-sabz hun ghun jis ki jaD gai
chaha jo malish-e-kaf-e-afsos kijiye
hathon ko ye mila ki hatheli ragaD gai
gul aa ke zer-e-kafsh-e-saba saf ho gaya
juti jo be-haya ke paDi KHak jhaD gai
uqda khula ye dast-e-hina band-e-yar se
meinhdi hai apne chor ki mushken jakaD gai
wo gul araq-fashan nazar aaya jo bagh mein
shabnam pe os aab-e-KHajalat se paD gai
Dhanpa kafan mein munh ko jo sharm-e-gunah se
mayyat meri zamin mein KHajalat se gaD gai
ai 'shad' lucknow ki KHarabi na puchhiye
basti basi-basai gulon ki ujaD gai
Ghazal
TuTe jo dant munh ki shabahat bigaD gai
Shad Lakhnavi
