kuchh aisa bhi to ho jae kabhi aisa kare koi

kuchh aisā bhī to ho jaa.e kabhī aisā kare koī

banā.e ḳhud nasheman aur phir sahrā kare koī

tumhāre naam ke hamrāh merā naam le duniyā

mirā dil chāhtā hai phir mujhe rusvā kare koī

agar tū mil nahīñ saktā to kuchh tadbīr aisī ho

mirī āñkhoñ se tujh ko umr-bhar dekhā kare koī

ḳhirad par log nāzāñ haiñ junūñ par faḳhr hai mujh ko

junūñ se mere apnī aql kā saudā kare koī

ye fitrat kab bhalā insāniyat se mel khātī hai

safīna Dūbtā ho duur se dekhā kare koī

vo dil meñ jāguzīñ hai mustaqil hai jalva-farmā.ī

bhalā aise meñ phir kis tarah se pardā kare koī

hujūm-e-ġham sambhaltā hī nahīñ ai 'sham.a' ab mujh se

kabhī to kaash aisā ho mujhe tanhā kare koī

kuchh aisa bhi to ho jae kabhi aisa kare koi

banae KHud nasheman aur phir sahra kare koi

tumhaare nam ke hamrah mera nam le duniya

mera dil chahta hai phir mujhe ruswa kare koi

agar tu mil nahin sakta to kuchh tadbir aisi ho

meri aankhon se tujh ko umr-bhar dekha kare koi

KHirad par log nazan hain junun par faKHr hai mujh ko

junun se mere apni aql ka sauda kare koi

ye fitrat kab bhala insaniyat se mel khati hai

safina Dubta ho dur se dekha kare koi

wo dil mein jaguzin hai mustaqil hai jalwa-farmai

bhala aise mein phir kis tarah se parda kare koi

hujum-e-gham sambhalta hi nahin ai 'shama' ab mujh se

kabhi to kash aisa ho mujhe tanha kare koi
