bazm-e-hasti ki wo faza bhi nahin
mutrib-e-waqt khush-nawa bhi nahin

dil na dhadka khata hui lekin
teri pael ki wo sada bhi nahin

kitni viran hai gali dil ki
dur tak koi naqsh-e-pa bhi nahin

kya musibat hai tere diwane
qaid mein bhi nahin riha bhi nahin

wajh-e-araish-e-kham-e-kakul
hum nahin hain to aaina bhi nahin

ab to sunte hain un ki mahfil mein
jaan-nisaron ka tazkira bhi nahin

lutf to khair lutf hai 'nazim'
mujh pe us shokh ki jafa bhi nahin
