jo khud pe baithe bithae zawal le aae
kahan se hum bhi likha kar kamal le aae

kiwad kholen to ud jaengi ababilen
na jaane zehn mein kaisa khayal le aae

har ek shakhs samajh kar bhi ho gaya khamosh
azal se chehre pe hum wo sawal le aae

hain rakh rakh magar aaj tak nahin bikhre
kaho hawa se hamari misal le aae

sulagti bujhti hui zindagi ki ye saughat
'shamim' apne liye mah-o-sal le aae
