allah de sake to de aisi zaban mujhe
apna samajh ke dil se laga le jahan mujhe

sehn-e-chaman se jab bhi utha hai dhuan kabhi
yaad aa ke rah gaya hai mera aashiyan mujhe

khar-e-nafas ne mujh ko na sone diya kabhi
ek umr maut deti rahi loriyan mujhe

main ek charagh lakh charaghon mein bat gaya
rakkha jo aainon ne kabhi darmiyan mujhe

main aane wale qafile ka mir ban gaya
chhoda tha sathiyon ne pas-e-karwan mujhe

har mauj se ulajhti hui khelti hui
sahil pe lai kashti-e-umr-e-rawan mujhe

'simab' dasht-e-zist se main kya karun gila
bakhshi hain bastiyon ne bhi viraniyan mujhe
