Shauq Asar Rampuri

"matam-e-marg-e-tamanna na samajh ai nadan zindagi bol rahi hai mire afsane men"

"abhi farq hai aadmi aadmi men abhi duur hai aadmi aadmi se"

"shagufta phuul jo dekhe to 'shauq' yaad aaya diye the daagh bhi gulshan ne be-shumar mujhe"

"mire khayal ki vus.at men hain hazar chaman kahan kahan se nikalegi ye bahar mujhe"

"vo gham ho ya alam ho dard ho ya alam-e-vahshat use apna samajh ai zindagi jo tere kaam aa.e"

"bata nasib-e-nasheman main kya dua mangun jo asman ki taraf raushni nazar aa.e"

abhi farq hai aadmi aadmi mein
abhi duur hai aadmi aadmi se

shagufta phuul jo dekhe to 'shauq' yaad aayaa
diye the daagh bhi gulshan ne be-shumaar mujhe

mire khayaal ki vusat mein hain hazaar chaman
kahaan kahaan se nikaalegi ye bahaar mujhe

vo gham ho yaa alam ho dard ho yaa aalam-e-vahshat
use apnaa samajh ai zindagi jo tere kaam aae

bataa nasib-e-nasheman main kyaa duaa maangun
jo aasmaan ki taraf raushni nazar aae

aaj tak dair-o-haram mein tegh hi chalti rahi
laakh ham-rindon ne chaahaa shisha-o-saaghar chalein
