wo jab rang-e-pareshani ko khalwat-gir dekhenge
to apne har tasawwur mein meri taswir dekhenge

suna hai husn ko dah-chand kar deta hai ye shisha
laga kar apne dil mein aap ki taswir dekhenge

wafa ka tazkira kya ab to ye irshad hai un ka
ki tum nala karo hum garmi-e-tasir dekhenge

shikasta har kadi hai har kadi mein dil ke tukde hain
badi ibrat se diwane meri zanjir dekhenge

khayal-e-hashar o fikr-e-nashr ai 'simab' la-hasil
ki hai taqdir mein jo kuchh bahar-taqdir dekhenge
