wo aur kuchh nahin ek tarz guftugu ki thi

vo aur kuchh nahīñ ik tarz guftugū kī thī

kahā ye kis ne kabhī terī aarzū kī thī

kabhī bhī apnī tabī.at na jañg-jū kī thī

vahāñ anā kī nahīñ baat aabrū kī thī

jo zaḳhm thā to zarā ḳhuun hī Tapaktā thā

jalan tamām tire sozan-e-rafū kī thī

tirā jamāl thā yā thā tilism-e-hosh-rubā

lalak ajiib se mujh meñ bhī justujū kī thī

samundaroñ kā vo ġhussa thā yā zamīñ kā itaab

tamām shorish-e-tūfāñ mire lahū kī thī

gumāñ gumāñ hai gumāñ hī rahe to achchhā hai

sadā-e-qulqul-e-mīnā talab subū kī thī

dahān-e-zaḳhm kahāñ thā 'shamīm' kyā ma.alūm

lahū uchhāl kī shiddat rag-e-gulū kī thī

wo aur kuchh nahin ek tarz guftugu ki thi

kaha ye kis ne kabhi teri aarzu ki thi

kabhi bhi apni tabiat na jang-ju ki thi

wahan ana ki nahin baat aabru ki thi

jo zaKHm tha to zara KHun hi Tapakta tha

jalan tamam tere sozan-e-rafu ki thi

tera jamal tha ya tha tilism-e-hosh-ruba

lalak ajib se mujh mein bhi justuju ki thi

samundaron ka wo ghussa tha ya zamin ka itab

tamam shorish-e-tufan mere lahu ki thi

guman guman hai guman hi rahe to achchha hai

sada-e-qulqul-e-mina talab subu ki thi

dahan-e-zaKHm kahan tha 'shamim' kya malum

lahu uchhaal ki shiddat rag-e-gulu ki thi
