mere hisse mein be-dili aai
maut aai na zindagi aai

koi manzar khula na aankhon mein
jo bhi rut aai shabnami aai

lahr si dur tak uthi dil mein
aaj phir yaad aap ki aai

koi lamha chamak utha shayad
warna aankhon mein kyun nami aai

aaina dekha dekh kar roya
khud ko socha to phir hansi aai

ab to har shahr shahr-e-maqtal hai
jo hua aai chikhti aai

aagahi kar gai bahut gumrah
kaam aai to aashiqi aai

shab bulati hai wahshaton ko 'shamim'
kya qayamat ki chandni aai
