sahil pe lai aur safine dubo diye
yun zindagi ne hum ko hansaya ki ro diye

ahl-e-chaman ne jashn-e-bahaaran ke nam se
wo dastan sunai ki daman bhigo diye

zabt-e-gham-e-firaq ki majburiyan na puchh
dil mein kisi ka nam liya aur ro diye

fariyaad ki hai baat magar ab sunega kaun
ek nakhuda ne kitne safine dubo diye

ai wae-sai-e-zabt ki aksar tere huzur
hansne ka ehtimam kiya aur ro diye

un aansuon ka dekhne wala koi na tha
jin aansuon mein hum ne tabassum samo diye

rah-e-junun mein kaam khirad se liya hi tha
zoaf-e-talab ne panw mein kante chubho diye

tajdid-e-ahd-e-ishq hui aaj yun 'shamim'
nazren milin salam kiya aur ro diye
