gar hai nae nizam ki takhliq ka khayal
abadiyon ko nazr-e-bayaban to kijiye
gar jalva-e-jamal ki dil ko hai aarzu
ashkon se chashm-e-shauq charaghan to kijiye
hona hai dard-e-ishq se gar lazzat-ashna
dil ko kharab-e-talkhi-e-hijran to kijiye
ik lamha-e-nashat ki gar hai havas ‘shamim’
dil ko halak-e-hasrat-o-arman to kijiye
