hum ujale tere galiyon ke jidhar jate hain
sune sune se dar-o-baam sanwar jate hain

lakh hansta hai khada rahon mein aankhon ka hujum
tere wahshi hain ki chup-chap guzar jate hain

koi kis dil se sajae hamein aankhon mein bhala
hum wo sapne hain jo lamhon mein bikhar jate hain

ek nae khwab ki hasrat mein na puchh ai hamdam
aankhon aankhon mein shab-o-roz guzar jate hain

hum musafir hain rah-e-zist mein chalte chalte
koi bhi hum ko pukare to thahar jate hain

raushni nam ki har shai se mohabbat thi kabhi
ab to har subh-e-ziya-bar se dar jate hain

hum ki sahra-e-mohabbat mein dam-e-khamoshi
kitni aawazon ke sae se guzar jate hain

hum hirasan to nahin gardish-e-dauran se magar
aap ki shokhi-e-raftar se dar jate hain

mahwashon ko na dikha aaina-e-gham 'nazim'
ye wo chehre hain ki pal bhar mein utar jate hain
