hamari rah se palkon ko aashna rakhna
kabhi hum aaen to khwabon ka dar khula rakhna

hamesha milne milane se wasta rakhna
kiya hai pyar to jari ye silsila rakhna

qarib aa ke zamana fareb deta hai
jo ho sake to zamane se fasla rakhna

nahin hai koi haqiqat-pasand duniya mein
kabhi kisi ke muqabil na aaina rakhna

wo khat jo likhte ho tum mere nam khalwat mein
mera amal hai use padhna chumna rakhna

safar mein hun mujhe takhir ho bhi sakti hai
sataen hijr ke lamhe to hausla rakhna

'nasim' ho gae apne hi jab ki begane
to aarzu-e-wafa bhi kisi se kya rakhna
