apne hi fan ki aag mein jalte rahe 'shamim'
honTon pe sab ke hausla-afzai rah gai

dhup chhuti hai badan ko jab 'shamim'
barf ke suraj pighal jate hain kyun

Farooq Shamim

hain rakh rakh magar aaj tak nahin bikhre
kaho hawa se hamari misal le aae

Farooq Shamim

hisar-e-zat se kaT kar to ji nahin sakte
bhanwar ki zad se yun mahfuz apni naw na rakh

Farooq Shamim

jhuT sach mein koi pahchan kare bhi kaise
jo haqiqat ka hi meyar fasana Thahra

Farooq Shamim

waqt ek mauj hai aata hai guzar jata hai
Dub jate hain jo lamhat ubharte kab hain
