yun tere mast sar-e-rah chala karte hain
jaise shahan-e-falak-e-jah chala karte hain

gham-e-duniya gham-e-jaanan gham-e-manzil gham-e-rah
kitne gham zist ke hamrah chala karte hain

dil bhi kya rahguzar hai ki hamesha jis mein
zohra-o-mustari-o-mah chala karte hain

ye to rindon ki gali hai idhar ai shaikh kahan
aisi rahon mein to gumrah chala karte hain

gham-e-dauran ki kadi dhup mein chalne wale
ba-tamanna-e-shab-e-mah chala karte hain

hum ko chalna hai jo gulshan mein to is tarah chalen
jaise gulshan ke hawa-khwah chala karte hain

yaad-e-mazi gham-e-imroz umid-e-farda
kitne sae mere hamrah chala karte hain

wadi-e-dil hai qadam soch ke rakhna ki 'shamim'
tez is rah mein nagah chala karte hain
