soī hasrat jagā gayā koī
ḳhvāb mujh ko dikhā gayā koī
chāñd bhī ab nahīñ rahā dilkash
kis qadar dil lubhā gayā koī
ba.ad muddat ke aañkh yuuñ roī
mujh ko dariyā banā gayā koī
aaj sīkhī hai dostī maiñ ne
jaan mujh par luTā gayā koī
vo samajhte the mujh ko lā-sānī
aa.ina phir dikhā gayā koī
us ne pūchhā thā merī qīmat ko
daam us kā lagā gayā koī
aaj 'shamsher' phir pareshāñ hai
dar se bhūkā chalā gayā koī
