tum mere pas raho jism ki garmi bakhsho
sard hai raat bahut ghar se na bahar niklo

dudhiya chandni bistar pe kahan se aai
phir koi chand na nikla ho gali mein dekho

sar pe kab kaun kahan sang-e-malamat mare
parsaon se pare kalba-e-ahzan mein raho

koi bhonra na kahin phul ka ras pi jae
apni madhosh nigahon ke dariche kholo

jaane kis manzil-e-be-nam ki jaanib niklun
apni tanhai se darta hun mere sath raho

barf ek roz pahadon ki pighal jaegi
sard-mehri-e-zamana ki shikayat na karo

kitni biti hui sadiyon ki kahani hun 'shamim'
mere chehre ki ye bigdi hui tahrir padho
