husn ke dil mein jagah pate hi diwana bane
hum abhi raaz bane hi the ki afsana bane

kah diya hai ki milo hum se to yaksu ho kar
ab nibhe ya na nibhe un se bane ya na bane

aaj wo bazm mein khud shama bane baithe hain
hai koi muddai-e-soz jo parwana bane

dil-e-azurda hai labrez-e-hadis-e-gham-e-ishq
main agar chahun to har sans ek afsana bane

kitne diwane mohabbat mein mite hain 'simab'
jama ki jae jo khak un ki to virana bane
