zakhmon ki farawani qatil ki shikayat bhi
kis darja anokhi hai ye rasm-e-mohabbat bhi

is shahr-e-khamoshan mein kya saz-e-ghazal chheden
mahfuz yahan kab hai ehsas ki daulat bhi

saqi ki nigahon ke masum ishaaron mein
jine ki hain takiden marne ki ijazat bhi

hum kufr-e-mohabbat ke fanus jalate hain
sar aankhon pe apne hai qatil ki ye tohmat bhi

puchhen to 'shamim' un se kya zulm ka hasil hai
ras aa na saki jin ko shaddad ki jannat bhi
