dil mein utri hai nigah rah gain bahar palken
kya khadang-e-nigah-e-yar ki hain par palken

fart-e-hairat se ye be-his hain sarasar palken
ki huin aaina-e-chashm ki jauhar palken

ye daraazi hai ki wo shokh jidhar aankh uthae
ja pahunchti hain nigahon ke barabar palken

kya tamasha hai ki dale mere dil mein surakh
aur khun mein na huin un ki kabhi tar palken

nargis us ghairat-e-gul-zar se kya aankh milae
aankh bhi wo ki nahin jis ko mayassar palken

hai gham-e-marg-e-adu bhi but-e-kafir ka banaw
qatra-e-ashk se hain rishta-e-gauhar palken

chat deta hai tera dil unhen khun-rezi ki
tez karti hain isi sang pe khanjar palken

li gain dil ko wo duzdida nigahen ab yan
kya dhara hai jo chadha lati hain lashkar palken

kina kuchh shart nahin un ki dil-azari ko
nish-e-aqrab hain teri shokh sitam kar palken

hai yahi girya-e-khunin to kisi din 'nazim'
yun hi rah jaengi aapas mein jhapak kar palken
