saaton aalam sar karne ke baa'd ik din ki chhuTTi le kar — Shuja Khaavar

kuchh nahin bolaa to mar jaaegaa andar se 'shujaaa'
aur agar bolaa to phir baahar se maaraa jaaegaa

chaaragari ki baat kisi aur se karo
ab ho gae hain yaaro puraane mariz ham

us ke bayaan se hue har-dil-aziz ham
gham ko samajh rahe the chhupaane ki chiiz ham

tangi-e-haiat se Takraataa huaa josh-e-mavaad
shaaeri kaa lutf aa jaataa hai chhoTi bahr mein

yaa to jo naa-fahm hain vo bolte hain in dinon
yaa jinhein khaamosh rahne ki sazaa maalum hai

'shujaa' vo khairiyat puchhein to hairat mein na paD jaanaa
pareshaan karne vaale khair-khvaahon mein bhi hote hain
