jaur-e-paiham ki intiha bhi hai
ek ke baad dusra bhi hai

ghair ne bazm-e-yar mein hum se
kuchh kaha hai to kuchh suna bhi hai

shauq se dil mera karo pamal
yahi kam-bakht ki saza bhi hai

un ki tirchhi nazar se darta hun
ye ada hi nahin qaza bhi hai

kahte hain wo jo puchhta hun mizaj
aap se koi bolta bhi hai

nahin waqif 'nasim' se kya khub
koi tum par mita hua bhi hai
