nikal pade hain sanam raat ke shiwale se
kuchh aaj shahr-e-ghariban mein hain ujale se

chalo palat bhi chalen apne mai-kade ki taraf
ye aa gae kis andhere mein hum ujale se

khuda kare ki bikhar jaen mere shanon par
sanwar rahe hain ye baadal jo kale kale se

buton ki khalwat-e-rangin mein bazm-e-anjum mein
kahan kahan na gae hum tere hawale se

junun ki wadi-e-azad mein talab kar lo
nikal lo hamein sham-o-sahar ke haale se

hayat-e-asr mujhe pher de mera mazi
hasin tha wo andhera tere ujale se

koi manae to kaise manae dil ko 'shamim'
ye baat puchhiye ek ruth jaane wale se
