kisi surat to dil ko shad karna
hamein dushman samajh kar yaad karna

duaen denge chhut kar qaidi-e-zulf
jahan tak ho sake aazad karna

kahin wo aafrin aisa pade hath
na mujh par rahm o jallad karna

masihai dikhana baad-e-murdan
jo dil chahe to kuchh irshad karna

uda do khak meri thokaron se
agar manzur hai barbaad karna

adab sikhe nahin hun nau-giraftar
bata kar qaede bedad karna

maza tha bebasi ki galiyon mein
isi bhule sabaq ko yaad karna

bahut mushkil hai in sangin-dilon se
khayal-e-khatir-e-nashad karna

janaza uth chuke mera to tum bhi
ada rasm-e-mubarak-baad karna

'nasim'-e-khasta-dil ne jaan de di
ghazab laya tera bedad karna
