jab se teri aankh hum se phir gai
halqa-e-gham mein tabiat ghir gai

fauj-e-mizhgan mein mere khun ke liye
chashm ki gardish se kaudi phir gai

mohtasib ki aankh par jab se chadhi
dukht-e-raz shishe ke dil se gir gai

na-tawanon ke liye tufan kya
qatra-e-shabnam mein juhi tar gai

saqiya koi bala tha mohtasib
khairiyat guzri jo khum ke sir gai

murda mera dekh kar bola wo shokh
kyon 'nasim' ab aankh teri phir gai
