bazm-e-khuban se uthe dar-o-rasan tak pahunche
aap hi aap mere panw gagan tak pahunche

ek main hi tha jo sayyaad ki jholi mein gira
ud gae sare parinde jo chaman tak pahunche

sirf dil hi ko jalana to koi baat nahin
ishq ek aag agar hai to badan tak pahunche

bandishon hi ki numaish hai hayat-e-adam
ek dhage se bandhe aur kafan tak pahunche

umr kamtar hi se koshish thi musalsal jari
sher apna bhi koi tarz-e-sukhan tak pahunche

aakhiri ek ye khwahish hai mere sine mein
khak jab meri ude apne watan tak pahunche

sharm ka phul main aankhon se teri chun lunga
is se pahle ki jhade aur dahan tak pahunche

aasmanon ko daba lega wo pairon ke tale
shauq insan ka gar us ki lagan tak pahunche

kya zarurat ki karen chal ke tawaf-e-duniya
fikr apni ye agar gang-o-jaman tak pahunche

soch lena tha tujhe itna ki kya hoga 'nadim'
aaj ka sher agar tere sajan tak pahunche
