dariya-o-mauj sa kabhi hum se juda na ho
ai but khuda talak bhi tera aashna na ho

mahfil mein is pari ki jo ye dil-jala na ho
yarab sharab-e-nab mein hi kuchh maza na ho

us sabz khat ke bose liye main ne khwab mein
yarab ghubar dil mein kahin aa gaya na ho

pilwa rahe ho ru-ba-ru ghairon ko jam-e-mai
aur kahte ho mujhe to meri jaan khafa na ho

meri rawish pe kis liye bahka hai kya hua
majnun se kah do chup bhi ho yun bawla na ho

nikhat se mushk-o-itr ki duniya mahak gai
pani nahane mein tera juda khula na ho

mar hi gaya udhar jo mera nama-bar gaya
qasid khuda ke waste tu bhi fana na ho

bakht-e-siyah zalil hamein yun bhi karte hain
jis shab wo aae ghar ko usi shab diya na ho

lala ho arghawan ho sukhan ho gulab ho
champa ho yasman ho magar diliya na ho

aab-e-rawan ho chandni ho sabza-zar ho
nargis ki tarah ghair koi dekhta na ho

saqi ho mai ho gaen pari-zad sab bahaar
saghar se jald chalne mein charkh-e-duta na ho

pariyon ka raqs ru-ba-ru hota rahe mudam
pahlu se yar lab se piyala juda na ho

saman-e-aish gar ye mayassar ho ai 'nasim'
hat-dharmi hai zaban pe jo shukr-e-khuda na ho
