furqat ki bhayanak raaton ko is tarah guzara karta hun
dil mujh ko pukara karta hai main tum ko pukara karta hun

ab un ke tasawwur se main ne andaz-e-junun bhi sikh liye
har khar se baaten karta hun har gul ko ishaara karta hun

ye rang-e-junun-e-ishq hai kya is rang-e-junun ko kya kahiye
main jis se mohabbat karta hun khud us se kinara karta hun

khamosh fazaen dekhti hain ya chand sitare sunte hain
jab yaad mujhe tum aate ho jab tum ko pukara karta hun

saqi ki nigah-e-mast mujhe jab yaad 'shamim' aa jati hai
us waqt hi apne taq se main shishon ko utara karta hun
