tha aaine ke samne chehra khula hua
pani pe jaise chand ka saya paDa hua
ghulti gai badan mein tamazat sharab ki
saghar nigah ka tha labaalab bhara hua
kal raat thoDi der ko palken jhapak gain
jaga to joD joD tha apna dukha hua
shayad ki so gae hain bahut thak ke dil-jale
shahr-e-junun tamam hai suna paDa hua
tahzib DhunDhti hai kisi irtiqa ki shakl
iqbaal-mandiyon ka hai suraj Dhala hua
dil ka wajud gham ke andhere mein kho gaya
jaise kisi mazar ka katba miTa hua
kandhe pe Dho raha hun gae waqt ki salib
kanTon ka taj sar pe hai apne rakha hua
gharqab ho na jae kahin zabt ka jahan
phir aaj dard-e-dil ka hai dariya chaDha hua
haalat na ab 'shamim' ki puchho ki wo gharib
hoga kisi gali mein tamasha bana hua
Ghazal
Tha aaine ke samne chehra khula hua
