mere hisse mein be-dili aai

mere hisse meñ be-dilī aa.ī

maut aa.ī na zindagī aa.ī

koī manzar khulā na āñkhoñ meñ

jo bhī rut aa.ī shabnamī aa.ī

lahr sī duur tak uThī dil meñ

aaj phir yaad aap kī aa.ī

koī lamha chamak uThā shāyad

varna āñkhoñ meñ kyuuñ namī aa.ī

aa.ina dekhā dekh kar royā

ḳhud ko sochā to phir hañsī aa.ī

ab to har shahr shahr-e-maqtal hai

jo huā aa.ī chīḳhtī aa.ī

āgahī kar ga.ī bahut gumrāh

kaam aa.ī to āshiqī aa.ī

shab bulātī hai vahshatoñ ko 'shamīm'

kyā qayāmat kī chāñdnī aa.ī

mere hisse mein be-dili aai

maut aai na zindagi aai

koi manzar khula na aankhon mein

jo bhi rut aai shabnami aai

lahr si dur tak uThi dil mein

aaj phir yaad aap ki aai

koi lamha chamak uTha shayad

warna aankhon mein kyun nami aai

aaina dekha dekh kar roya

KHud ko socha to phir hansi aai

ab to har shahr shahr-e-maqtal hai

jo hua aai chiKHti aai

aagahi kar gai bahut gumrah

kaam aai to aashiqi aai

shab bulati hai wahshaton ko 'shamim'

kya qayamat ki chandni aai
