khuli hai aankh josh-e-intizar-e-yar-e-jaani hai
ba-mushkil dida-e-zanjir khwab-e-pasbani hai

labon par aa chuka dam koi dam ki zindagani hai
chal uth o bewafa pahlu se ab kyun mehrbani hai

laga dun aag uf karne mein wo shoala-zabani hai
ba-shakl-e-shama sare jism mein soz-e-nihani hai

kalam-e-hazrat-e-waiz nasib-e-dushmanan bashad
undelo mai piyo saghar kahan phir naujawani hai

umangen hain tabiat mein bhari hain mastiyan dil mein
hui jati hain aankhen band kaif-e-naujawani hai

azab-e-ghaflat-e-qatil se ranj-e-kash-makash mein hun
madad ai marg-e-be-taqsir zauq-e-jaan-fishani hai

khabar kya puchhta hai ham-nafas kyun kar guzarti hai
jigar jalta hai dil bhunta hai ashkon ki rawani hai

ada-o-naz-e-ima chashm-e-ghamza go wo koi ho
talluq jis se ho jae bala-e-nagahani hai

pasand aai hai is darja aziyyat dosti hum ko
nazar mein dhup bhi dasht-e-musibat ke suhani hai

khayal-e-mirzai ai 'nasim'-dehlawi kab tak
jhuko buddhe hue ab rukhsat-e-lutf-e-jawani hai
