aasman ka rang meri zat mein ghul jaega
dekhna ek din ghubar-e-jism bhi dhul jaega

ek ek kar ke parinde ud rahe hain shakh se
aisa lagta hai ki jaise mausam-e-gul jaega

khauf ki dewi ko aakhir mil gaya us ka pata
us ke sheron se bhi ab rang-e-taghazzul jaega

dard ke jhonkon se bachna ab kahan mumkin 'shamim'
band hoga ek dar to dusra khul jaega
