dil hote hote manzil-e-jaanana ho gaya
aabaad rafta rafta ye virana ho gaya

wo hain ki do-jahan ko apnae jate hain
main hun ki apni zat se begana ho gaya

jalne ka shauq uf tere kushte ki khak ka
jo zarra ud gaya wahi parwana ho gaya

teri tajalliyon ne wo badli hain suraten
mera khayal ek pari-khana ho gaya

wo rah rah-e-ishq hai jis mein ki rah-naward
diwana jo hua wahi farzana ho gaya

masti ki laghzishon ko tha ehsas-e-bandagi
girna hi mera sajda-e-shukrana ho gaya

saqi ki aankh mein wo bala ki sharab thi
bad-mast ek nigah mein mai-khana ho gaya

beganagi mein shad hun main is khayal se
tera wahi hai sab se jo begana ho gaya

bazm-e-qadah ko dekh ke khud-gharziyon se pak
'nami' sharik-e-maslak-e-rindana ho gaya
