jaane kya kahte hue sarw saman guzre hain
kaise haalat se gul zer-e-chaman guzre hain

ab batao ki mulaqat bhali ya furqat
tum pe ye hijr ke lamhe jo kathin guzre hain

chandni raat mein do sae ba-sad-husn-e-khiram
in darakhton ke tale mahw-e-sukhan guzre hain

us pe ye nur hai dekhoge to hairat hogi
chand par aaj talak jitne gahan guzre hain

jazba-e-shauq hai bharpur hai aur sachcha hai
sare sahraon se diwane magan guzre hain

daulat-e-dard faqat us ki inayat hi nahin
aur jaanib se bhi kuchh ranj-o-mehan guzre hain

bad-guman lafz the mashkuk sadaen thin 'nasim'
is samaat pe kuchh aise bhi sukhan guzre hain
