go ye gham hai ki wo habib nahin
par khushi hai koi raqib nahin

kyun na hon tifl-e-ashk aawara
ki moallim nahin adib nahin

kal tasawwur mein aai jo shab-e-gor
shab-e-furqat se wo muhib nahin

hain sawari ke sath fariyaadi
koi aur aap ka naqib nahin

muddaton se hun jaanta hun watan
dasht-e-ghurbat mein main gharib nahin

tujh se ai dil khuda to hai aqrab
gham nahin but agar qarib nahin

jaan kyun kar bachegi furqat mein
hain adu saikdon habib nahin

zindagani maraz hai maut shifa
juz ajal koi ab tabib nahin

jite ji paun dost ka didar
'nasikh' aise mere nasib nahin
