phir aa gaya zaban pe wahi nam kya karen
tu hi bata ai gardish-e-ayyam kya karen

ek pal ko lab pe aai hansi phir palat gai
yaad aa gaya ho jaise koi kaam kya karen

har aarzu ke hont zamane ne si diye
bujhne laga charagh sar-e-sham kya karen

dar hai ki tere hath se saghar na chhin len
hum tishna-lab ai saqi-e-gulfam kya karen

aao musafiran-e-adam aao ghar chalen
manzil hamari dur hai aaram kya karen

rukh par kali ke jab padi tharra gai nazar
dekha hai har bahaar ka anjam kya karen

'simab' hum ko chain milega na umr-bhar
hum to hain iztirab mein badnam kya karen
