azab jitne hain sare hamari khatir hain
tumhaare pas to mal-o-mata' wafir hain

wo jin ke panw mein chal chal ke pad gae chhaale
wo rah-e-ishq nahin bhuk ke musafir hain

ye shah ke sath musahib bane jo phirte hain
ye kah rahe hain ki sab log teri khatir hain

lahu nichod ke ghar hum ko bhejne walo
hamare jism kuchalne ko ab bhi hazir hain

'nadim' aao chalen hum bhi kucha-e-qatil
ki rah-e-shauq mein hum se bahut musafir hain
