Murjha ke kali jhil may girate huye bhi dekh

Suraj hun mera rang magar din dhale bhi dekh

Kagaz ki katarane ko bhi kahate hain log phul

Rangon ka aitabar hi kya sungh ke bhi dekh

Har chand rakh hoke bikharana hai rah may

Jalate huye paron se ura hun mujhe bhi dekh

Tune kaha na tha ki main kashti pe bojh hun

Ankhon ko ab na dhanp mujhe dubate bhi dekh

Tu hi barahana pa nahi is jalati ret par

Talawon may jo hawa ke hain wo abale bhi dekh

Insan nachata hai yahan putaliyon ke rang

Duniya may a gaya hai to is ke maze bhi dekh

Bichati thin jis ki rah may phulon ki chadaren

Ab us ki khak ghas ke pairon tale bhi dekh

Kya shakh e ba samar hai jo takata hai farsh ko

Nazaren utha ‘shakeb’ kabhi samane bhi dekh
