aaj sayyaad ne bhule se chaman dikhlaya
meri taqdir ne phir mujh ko watan dikhlaya

ain masti mein jo wo shokh hua sar ki jabin
ye ude hosh ki nashshe ne hiran dikhlaya

jhut-puta waqt hua maut ka saman shab-e-wasl
sahar-e-hijr ka murdon ne kafan dikhlaya

chand ko dekhte hain lotte angaron par
tum ne kyun kabk-e-dari ko ye chalan dikhlaya

aae wallah dil-e-hairan mein kya kuchh arman
us ne aaine ko tan tan ke jo tan dikhlaya

marte jite hi rahe hum to aji dam dam mein
na kamar us ne dikhai na dahan dikhlaya

yaad mein phul se galon ke sambhaala dil ko
kabhi nasrin to kabhi us ko saman dikhlaya

phir tera shor-e-tabassum jo namak-rez hua
phir mera taza mujhe zakhm-e-kuhan dikhlaya

kal jo tha wada-e-wasl aaj wo farda nikla
din qayamat ka to ai wada-shikan dikhlaya

kyun na main khar banun chashm-e-raqiban mein 'nasim'
phul se gal mujhe ghuncha-dahan dikhlaya
