dil sarabon se guzar kar shad rakh
dasht mein dariya ka manzar yaad rakh

sar asir-e-sar-bulandi hi rahe
kaj-kulahi se magar aazad rakh

is jahan mein hai zawali har uruj
yaad itna ai sitam-ijad rakh

qatra-e-nachiz samjha tu jise
band hai us mein samundar yaad rakh

baat apni bhul ja tu bhul ja
yaad lekin hurmat-e-ajdad rakh

pas tesha ho na ho ai kohkan
dil mein lekin jazba-e-farhad rakh

tez aandhi ke parind udne se qabl
shahparon mein sakhti-e-faulad rakh

dil hamesha sang-dil ke samne
be-niyaz-e-shewa-e-faryaad rakh

lo chale to muzmahil 'nadim' na ho
dil saba ki yaad se aabaad rakh
