basi hui hai ye kaisi KHushbu mujh mein
basī huī hai ye kaisī ḳhushbū mujh meñ
shāyad aa kar baiTh gayā hai tū mujh meñ
zulmat meñ ye nuur kahāñ se phailā hai
bol rahā hai kaun ye allah-hū mujh meñ
terī talab meñ jān-e-tamannā har shab kyoñ
jalte-bujhte rahte haiñ jugnū mujh meñ
dil pāgal kyoñ naach rahā hai sochtā huuñ
TuuT rahe haiñ ye kaise ghuñghrū mujh meñ
tum merī tā'rīf ke pul kyoñ bāñdhte ho
nikleñge taz.hīk ke bhī pahlū mujh meñ
ġham meñ kisī ke āñkheñ bahtī rahtī haiñ
jazb kahāñ ho paate haiñ aañsū mujh meñ
jaan liyā hai maiñ ne har shai faanī hai
ai duniyā phir kyoñ ho terī ḳhū mujh meñ
shā'ir huuñ kyā airā-ġhairā samjhā hai
DhūñD rahe ho kyoñ natthū-ḳhairū mujh meñ
'shams' maiñ ḳhud ye raaz na ab tak jaan sakā
maiñ urdu meñ zam huuñ yā urdu mujh meñ
basi hui hai ye kaisi KHushbu mujh mein
shayad aa kar baiTh gaya hai tu mujh mein
zulmat mein ye nur kahan se phaila hai
bol raha hai kaun ye allah-hu mujh mein
teri talab mein jaan-e-tamanna har shab kyon
jalte-bujhte rahte hain jugnu mujh mein
dil pagal kyon nach raha hai sochta hun
TuT rahe hain ye kaise ghunghru mujh mein
tum meri ta'rif ke pul kyon bandhte ho
niklenge tazhik ke bhi pahlu mujh mein
gham mein kisi ke aankhen bahti rahti hain
jazb kahan ho pate hain aansu mujh mein
jaan liya hai main ne har shai fani hai
ai duniya phir kyon ho teri KHu mujh mein
sha'ir hun kya aira-ghaira samjha hai
DhunD rahe ho kyon natthu-KHairu mujh mein
'shams' main KHud ye raaz na ab tak jaan saka
main urdu mein zam hun ya urdu mujh mein
