har ek daur mein haq ke naqib hain hum log
qasam khuda ki bade khush-nasib hain hum log

ye aur baat hum us ko rafiq samjhe the
ye aur baat wo samjha raqib hain hum log

zaban kat na le shab ka shahr-yar kahin
khata ye hai ki sahar ke khatib hain hum log

hamare pas ana la-zawal daulat hai
samajh raha hai zamana gharib hain log

hamara nam shahidon ki saf mein shamil hai
faraaz-e-dar se itne qarib hain hum log

hami hain sahib-e-sajjada-e-qalam 'nazim'
adab se sar ko jhukao adib hain hum log
