ab jam hamara hai dil-aram hamara
munh dekhti hai gardish-e-ayyam hamara

hasrat-zada-e-shauq hai ummid hamari
mahrum-e-tamanna dil-e-nakaam hamara

hum to hain kahin jalwa-gah-e-naz kahin aur
ek manzil-e-dushwar hai har-gam hamara

hum aur shabistan-e-adu muft ki tohmat
kahte hain ki hoga koi hamnam hamara

mahshar mein hue jab khat-e-amal ke tukde
un shokh hasinon mein bika nam hamara

saghar jo liya hath mein aansu nikal aae
rindon ki zabanon pe raha nam hamara

kya qahr thi ya-rab nigah-e-naz ki shokhi
chutki mein uda le gai aaram hamara

'nazish' koi ji chhod gaya shauq-e-sitam se
ruswai-e-ulfat mein hua nam hamara
