jaan-fishani ka wan hisab abas
jo kaho us ka hai jawab abas

mahtab aur katan ka aalam hai
aariz-e-dost par naqab abas

qufl-e-dar ki kalid na-paida
ab tamanna-e-fath-e-bab abas

zulf-e-pur-kham hawa se kyun na hile
aap khate hain pech-o-tab abas

khat use bhejna zarur magar
dost se khwahish-e-jawab abas

mere ashaar sab bayazi hain
ham-nashin fikr-e-intekhab abas

hai hamari nazar mein hurmat-e-mai
pechish-e-ahl-e-ehtisab abas

yan nahin kufr-o-din khauf-o-raja
lutf be-faeda itab abas

na sawab us mein hai na is mein asar
sabr ba-huda iztirab abas

wada us ne kiya to kya 'nazim'
abas ai khanuman-kharab abas
