wafa ka zikr ho be-mehri-e-butan ki tarah
yahan khulus bhi arzan hai naqd-e-jaan ki tarah

kabhi jo haal-e-dil-e-khun-chakan ka zikr chale
sunaiye unhen rudad-e-digaran ki tarah

saron ke chand farozan hain rah-e-ulfat mein
chamak rahi hai zamin aaj kahkashan ki tarah

kisi masih ke qadmon ki aahaten sun kar
salib jhum uthi shakh-e-ashiyan ki tarah

kahan se laiye ranai-e-khayal 'shamim'
subu-e-dil bhi hai khali subu-e-jaan ki tarah
