yaad ki subh dhal gai shauq ki sham ho gai
aap ke intizar mein umr tamam ho gai

pi hai jo ek bund bhi jag padi hai zindagi
aisi sharab-e-jaan-faza kaise haram ho gai

sath kisi ne chhod kar tod diya kisi ka dil
chal to pada tha karwan rah mein sham ho gai

nikle ba-yaad-e-mai-kada taron ke sath sath hum
jam tak aa ke zindagi mah-e-tamam ho gai

ras na aai zist ko subh-e-bahaar ki hawa
ahl-e-junun ki anjuman khalwat-e-jam ho gai

aaj wo muskura diye aaj hamari zindagi
aag se phul ban gai phul se jam ho gai

bazm se be-zaban uthe rah mein guftugu na ki
kaise hamari dastan shahr mein aam ho gai

raat ki jashn-gah par os padi hai nind ki
baad-e-sahar na jaane kyun mahw-e-khiram ho gai

sun li zaban-e-khalq se hum ne ghazal 'shamim' ki
kaun si khas baat hai kis liye aam ho gai
