hain ashk meri aankhon mein qulzum se zyaada
hain dagh mere sine mein anjum se zyaada

sau ramz ki karta hai ishaare mein wo baaten
hai lutf khamoshi mein takallum se zyaada

juz sabr dila chaara nahin ishq-e-butan mein
karte hain ye zulm aur tazallum se zyaada

mai-khane mein sau martaba main mar ke jiya hun
hai qulqul-e-mina mujhe qum-qum se zyaada

sau raqs se afzun hai pari-ru teri raftar
panw ki sada lakh tarannum se zyaada

taklif-e-takalluf se kiya ishq ne aazad
mu-e-sar-e-shorida hain qaqum se zyaada

mashuqon se ummid-e-wafa rakhte ho 'nasikh'
nadan koi duniya mein nahin tum se zyaada
