ghataen raqs karti hain ye mausam raqs karte hain
wo zulfon ko jab apni kar ke pur-nam raqs karte hain

badi masti badi gahrai hai un shokh aankhon mein
unhin mein mast ho kar donon aalam raqs karte hain

hawaen aane lagti hain kabhi jab un ke daman ki
diye bhi kar ke apni lau ko maddham raqs karte hain

tumhaare hijr ki raaton mein jab tanhai dasti hai
baja kar apni hum sanson ki sargam raqs karte hain

bahaaron jhumne lagti hain un ka nam sunte hi
saja lete hain gul honton pe shabnam raqs karte hain

miyan hum to qalandar hain hamara haal mat puchho
hamare sine mein kitne hi sangam raqs karte hain

kabhi jab mil ke aate hain kahin tanhai mein un se
dariche band kar lete hain aur hum raqs karte hain

hazaron bijliyan sadqe mein un ke tut jati hain
pahan ke nur ki pael jo hamdam raqs karte hain

'nadim' apni ada aisi hai jis ke samne aa kar
khushi madhosh ho jati hai aur gham raqs karte hain
