aai bahaar daur ho saqi sharab ka
dariya baha de bazm mein ashk-e-kabab ka

is aaftab-e-rukh pe nazar apni padte hi
shabnam ki tarah ud gaya parda hijab ka

kis bewafa pe marta hai kya kijiye use
ghar aur ho kahin dil-e-khana-kharab ka

karne to do sawal karen hain to kya
aashiq hun main bhi ek but-e-khana-kharab ka

har-dam wo mujh ko dekh ke abru chadhate hain
pyasa hai khanjar un ka mere khun-e-nab ka

qadmon ko chumta ai sanam aate-jate main
kyun sang mein bana nahin teri janab ka

sadme firaq-e-yar ke kya kam hain ai 'nasim'
mahshar mein mujh ko khauf nahin kuchh hisab ka
