jab badhenge ba-qasd-e-yakjai
hum jabhi ban sakenge ikkai

raushni ja chhupi hai aankhon mein
tirgi qalb mein utar aai

aap se kaun mangta hai jawab
karte rahiye qayas-arai

aaj had se siwa hai bechaini
uf re ehsas-e-dard-e-tanhai

umr bhar mod mod sath diya
ai khud-agah yaad-e-ruswai

yaad hai khizr-e-waqt jab hum ko
har sada thi sada-e-shahnai

log sochenge tujh ko tere baad
nap har zakhm-e-dil ki gahrai

ab kahan tujh ko dhundne jaen
ho chuki hum se arsh-paimai

jaane kyon ye khayal aata hai
tum tamasha ho hum tamashai

jaise aawara-gard hum hain 'shamim'
hain usi tarah aap sahrai
