kisi ke ishq mein ye haal-e-zar rahta hai
sukun pa ke bhi dil be-qarar rahta hai

wo mai-kade mein bahut ba-waqar rahta hai
jo be-khudi mein bhi kuchh hoshyar rahta hai

mujhe bahaar-e-gulistan pe naz ho kyunkar
meri nazar mein maal-e-bahaar rahta hai

dil-e-hazin gham-e-dauran se aashna na sahi
tumhaare gham se magar ham-kanar rahta hai

koi to baat hai aisi ki un ke wadon par
khulus-e-dil se mujhe e'tibar rahta hai

ba-faiz-e-josh-e-junun ab main us maqam pe hun
jahan junun hi mera raaz-dar rahta hai

ye jaanta hun na aae hain wo na aaenge
'nasim' phir bhi mujhe intizar rahta hai
