jab na jite-ji mere kaam aaegi
kya ye duniya aaqibat bakhshaegi

jab mile do dil mukhil phir kaun hai
baith jao khud haya uth jaegi

gar yahi hai is gulistan ki hawa
shakh-e-gul ek roz jhonka khaegi

dagh-e-sauda ek din dega bahaar
fasl is gul ki shagufa laegi

kuchh to hoga hijr mein anjam-e-kar
be-qarari kuchh na kuchh thahraegi

sandali rangon se mana dil mila
dard sar ki kis ke mathe jaegi

khaksaron se jo rakkhega ghubar
o falak badli teri ho jaegi

jab karega garmiyan wo shola-ru
sham-e-mahfil dekh kar jal jaegi

jaan nikal jaegi tan se ai 'nasim'
gul ko bu-e-gul hawa batlaegi
