go ba-nam ek zaban rakhti hai shama
kab tera sa bayan rakhti hai shama
tere mukhDe ka sa namak malum
ek phiki si aan rakhti hai shama
sarfaroshi ke muKHtara hum hain
go ab unchi dukan rakhti hai shama
dagh par dagh uThae dil ki tarah
kab ye tab-o-tawan rakhti hai shama
rowe go tuda tuda kab aise
dida-e-KHun-fishan rakhti hai shama
aah is dagh-e-dil se jis se ki dast
nit su-e-asman rakhti hai shama
kyunki parwana rashk se na jale
sab ke aage fulan rakhti hai shama
khol mukhDa ki hai ye mujh ko yaqin
tujh se dawa guman rakhti hai shama
ye dil afsurda wae qismat-e-bad
soz ta-ustuKHwan rakhti hai shama
raaton jagi hai misl 'qaem' ki
tab ye soz-e-nihan rakhti hai shama
Ghazal
Go ba-nam ek zaban rakhti hai shama
