gali mein ishq ki chala to husn ka fusun chala
fareb kha ke aadmi wahan se sar-nigun chala

raha wo sath jab talak mahak rahi thi rahguzar
hamare sath sath jaise lashkar-e-sukun chala

nibha saki na sath aashiqon ka kaenat bhi
qadam qadam mila ke sirf jazba-e-junun chala

tadap uthi hai tishnagi labon pe mere is qadar
na aae jam mujh talak ye daur mein na yun chala

mujhe hua yaqin apne ishq ke shabab par
jab aansuon ke raston pe mere dil ka khun chala

nigah-e-naz se nigah milne ki umid thi
tamam umr chashm-e-tar mein khwab guna-gun chala

paron se us ke kat gae bulandiyon ke aasman
udan bhar ke jab hawaon par dil-e-zabun chala

guzar gai sadi ye fikr-e-tir-e-chashm-e-naz mein
tamam jism chhod kar ye sirf dil pe kyun chala

hazaron aandhiyan simat ke panw se lipat gain
utha to phir 'nadim' ishq ki hadon se yun chala
