Dida-e-sarf-e-intizar Hai Shama

dida-e-sarf-e-intizar hai shama

meri haalat ki yaadgar hai shama

nahin dil mein kisi ke soz-o-gudaz

ki tamasha-e-rozgar hai shama

pae-jumbish sada taDapti hai

tapish-e-na-tawan shikar hai shama

ruKH-e-raushan hai nur-e-binai

chashm-e-ushshaq ka ghubar hai shama

roz-e-tira mein bad-numa KHurshid

shab-e-raushan mein tira-kar hai shama

yaad-e-gul-e-ruKH se phul jhaDte hain

kis bashashat se nau-bahaar hai shama

KHak nasur-e-dil bhare is ka

zaKHmi-e-girya-ha-e-zar hai shama

husn diwana sab ko karta hai

apne hi aap par nisar hai shama

subh hote hi TimTimati hai

aap ki chashm-e-pur-KHumar hai shama

kyun na roe na kis tarah se jale

ki fughani-e-raaz-dar hai shama

nahin bujhti lagi hui ji ki

shola-e-jaan-e-sogwar hai shama

hai idhar dagh-e-barq-e-parwana

aur udhar chashm-e-abr-bar hai shama

husn bhi hai maal-e-kar wabaal

bazm-dar-bazm kya hai KHar hai shama

jhankna parde se buri KHu hai

KHud-ba-KHud aap sharmsar hai shama

shab-e-tanhai aur tu aur ye

ai 'qalaq' teri gham-gusar hai shama
