supurdagi ka walwala jamal mein nahin mila
mujhe fusun-e-be-khudi visal mein nahin mila

jo aaine se kirchiyon ke darmiyan ka tha safar
shikast-e-zat ki kisi misal mein nahin mila

alam-nasib sham mein hai mehr-e-jaan bujha bujha
nashat-e-ranj bhi mujhe maal mein nahin mila

hazar yasmin mushk-bu hun tere qurb mein
chaman ka aks tere khadd-o-khal mein nahin mila

wo sar-burida chand bhi ghurub ho gaya magar
sitara-e-sahar shab-e-zawal mein nahin mila

'nadim' har qadam pe dard-e-be-aman ka dar khula
sukun is jahan-e-be-misal mein nahin mila
