gulon pe saya-e-gham-ha-e-rozgar mile
bhari bahaar ke chehre bhi sogwar mile

saja de un ke gareban ko mah o anjum se
hamare dast-e-junun ko jo ikhtiyar mile

hazar dagh utha kar chaman khilati hai
kahin zamin ko jo ahl-e-zamin ka pyar mile

hamare pas hai kya daulat-e-junun ke siwa
nisar chaak gareban agar bahaar mile

ye waqia hai ki naseh ki zid mein baat badhi
jo ek bar na milte wo bar-bar mile

mizha ke ashk tamanna ke zakhm yaad ke phul
kai charagh sar-e-sham-e-intizar mile

sahar se dair o haram par jo bahas karte hain
wo mai-kade mein sar-e-sham ham-kanar mile

hum apne chehra-e-fan ka nikhaar kya dekhen
ki aaine bhi to aaluda-e-ghubar mile

sunin to aabla-pai ki dastan lekin
kahan 'shamim' sa aashufta-e-bahaar mile
