jab shikayat thi ki tufan mein sahaara na mila
jab shikāyat thī ki tūfāñ meñ sahārā na milā
ab kināre pe bhī aa.e to kinārā na milā
be-sahāroñ ko kahīñ koī sahārā na milā
koī tūfāñ na milā koī kinārā na milā
haath uTThe hī nahīñ sāġhar o miinā kī taraf
ham ko jab tak tirī āñkhoñ kā ishārā na milā
chal na saktā thā kabhī ahl-e-havas kā jaadū
tujh ko ai dost koī ishq kā maarā na milā
jis ne dekhā hameñ dushman kī nazar se dekhā
terī mahfil meñ koī dost hamārā na milā
maut behtar hai 'shamīm' us ke liye jiine se
jis ko jiine ke liye koī sahārā na milā
jab shikayat thi ki tufan mein sahaara na mila
ab kinare pe bhi aae to kinara na mila
be-sahaaron ko kahin koi sahaara na mila
koi tufan na mila koi kinara na mila
hath uTThe hi nahin saghar o mina ki taraf
hum ko jab tak teri aankhon ka ishaara na mila
chal na sakta tha kabhi ahl-e-hawas ka jadu
tujh ko ai dost koi ishq ka mara na mila
jis ne dekha hamein dushman ki nazar se dekha
teri mahfil mein koi dost hamara na mila
maut behtar hai 'shamim' us ke liye jine se
jis ko jine ke liye koi sahaara na mila
