bhulne wale se koi kah de zara is tarah yaad aane se kya faeda
jab mere dil ki duniya basate nahin phir khayalon mein aane se kya faeda

chaar tinke jalane se kya mil gaya mit saka na zamane se mera nishan
mujh pe bijli girao to jaanen sahi aashiyan par girane se kya faeda

kya kahun aap se kitni ummid thi aap kya badle duniya badal si gai
aasra de ke dil todte hain mera is tarah se satane se kya faeda

tum ne musa ko nahaq hi taklif di lutf aata agar yaad karte hamein
jin ki aankhon mein tab-e-nazara na ho un ko jalwa dikhane se kya faeda

pahle dil ko burai se kar pak tu phir khulus-e-aqidat se kar justuju
aise sajdon se allah milta nahin har jagah sar jhukane se kya faeda

lakh samjhaya tujh ko magar ai 'shamim' teri hushyari aakhir na kaam aa saki
aankh milti gai raaz khulte gae ab haqiqat chhupane se kya faeda
