sharāb o sher ke sāñche meñ Dhal ke aa.ī hai
ye shaam kis kī galī se nikal ke aa.ī hai
samajh rahā huuñ sahar ke fareb-e-rañgīñ ko
nayā libās shab-e-ġham badal ke aa.ī hai
tire qadam kī bahak hai tirī qabā kī mahak
nasīm tere shabistāñ se chal ke aa.ī hai
vafā pe aañch na aatī agar tumhī kahte
zabāñ tak aaj jo ik baat chal ke aa.ī hai
sajī huī hai sitāroñ se mai-kade kī fazā
ki raat tere tasavvur meñ Dhal ke aa.ī hai
ba-ehtiyāt hamārī taraf uThī hai nigāh
laboñ pe mauj-e-tabassum sambhal ke aa.ī hai
hamārī aah hamāre hī dil kī aah nahīñ
na jaane kitne diloñ se nikal ke aa.ī hai
sahar tak aa to ga.ī sham.a tā-ba parvāna
magar harārat-e-ġham se pighal ke aa.ī hai
mirī nigāh-e-tamannā kā aks ho na 'shamīm'
kisī ke ruḳh pe jo surḳhī machal ke aa.ī hai
sharab o sher ke sanche mein Dhal ke aai hai
ye sham kis ki gali se nikal ke aai hai
samajh raha hun sahar ke fareb-e-rangin ko
naya libas shab-e-gham badal ke aai hai
tere qadam ki bahak hai teri qaba ki mahak
nasim tere shabistan se chal ke aai hai
wafa pe aanch na aati agar tumhi kahte
zaban tak aaj jo ek baat chal ke aai hai
saji hui hai sitaron se mai-kade ki faza
ki raat tere tasawwur mein Dhal ke aai hai
ba-ehtiyat hamari taraf uThi hai nigah
labon pe mauj-e-tabassum sambhal ke aai hai
hamari aah hamare hi dil ki aah nahin
na jaane kitne dilon se nikal ke aai hai
sahar tak aa to gai shama ta-ba parwana
magar hararat-e-gham se pighal ke aai hai
meri nigah-e-tamanna ka aks ho na 'shamim'
kisi ke ruKH pe jo surKHi machal ke aai hai
