aashiq-e-haq hain hamin shikwa-e-taqdir nahin
pech-e-qismat ka kam-az-zulf-e-girah-gir nahin

bas ki aahon se asiron ke bahe lakht-e-jigar
be-nagin aaj koi khana-e-zanjir nahin

kushtani pas to aa jae magar tere pas
neza-o-tir hi hai dashna-o-shamshir nahin

sab ke is umr mein ho jate hain aise hi hawas
tujh se kuchh shikwa hamein ai falak-e-pir nahin

ghar ki virani ko kya roun ki ye pahle se
tang itna hai ki gunjaish-e-tamir nahin

aadamiyat nahin tujh mein ye adu ki hai gharaz
yun pari kahne mein mana teri tahqir nahin

jumbish abru ko hai lekin nahin aashiq pe nigah
tum kaman kyun liye phirte ho agar tir nahin

himmat-e-murgh-e-sahar-khwan ka hun qail ki use
nale se zamzama maqsud hai tasir nahin

apne ustad ke andaz pe mera hai kalam
mujh ko 'nazim' hawas-e-pairwi-e-'mir' nahin
