kamal-e-ilm o tahqiq-e-mukammal ka ye hasil hai
tera idrak mushkil tha tera idrak mushkil hai

ye virani tasawwur ki wo rangini khayalon ki
kabhi mahfil mein khalwat hai kabhi khalwat mein mahfil hai

wo aaina ho ya ho phul tara ho ki paimana
kahin jo kuchh bhi tuta main yahi samjha mera dil hai

ujala ho to dhundun dil bhi parwanon ki lashon mein
meri barbaadiyon ko intizar-e-subh-e-mahfil hai

wo dil le kar hamein be-dil na samjhen un se kah dena
jo hain mare hue nazron ke un ki har nazar dil hai

wo ai 'simab' kyun sargashta-e-tasnim-o-jannat ho
mayassar jis ko sair-e-taj hai jamuna ka sahil hai
