gham hun jo apne aap mein rista dikhai de
dariya mein dub kar hi kinara dikhai de

dekho jo ghaur se kabhi chehron ki wahshaten
aabaadiyon mein bhi tumhein sahra dikhai de

suraj ki raushni mein kabhi apni samt dekh
tarikiyon mein kya tujhe saya dikhai de

nazron mein bas gaya mere dil mein utar gaya
surat se ajnabi ki jo apna dikhai de

khwabon ke sahilon ki taraf dekhta hai kaun
chadhta hua jo dard ka dariya dikhai de

is shahr-e-be-charagh mein chehra wo chand sa
aae jo apne samne kaisa dikhai de

kohram sa hai sine ke andar macha hua
khushiyon se bagh bagh ye chehra dikhai de

kya qahr hai jo raunaq-e-mahfil tha ai 'nadim'
wo shakhs shahar-bhar mein akela dikhai de
