marun to main kisi chehre mein rang bhar jaun
'nadim' kash yahi ek kaam kar jaun

ye dasht-e-tark-e-mohabbat ye tere qurb ki pyas
jo izn ho to teri yaad se guzar jaun

mera wajud meri ruh ko pukarta hai
teri taraf bhi chalun to thahar thahar jaun

tere jamal ka partaw hai sab hasinon par
kahan kahan tujhe dhundun kidhar kidhar jaun

main zinda tha ki tera intizar khatm na ho
jo tu mila hai to ab sochta hun mar jaun

tere siwa koi shaista-wafa bhi to ho
main tere dar se jo uthun to kis ke ghar jaun

ye sochta hun ki main but-parast kyun na hua
tujhe qarib jo paun to khud se dar jaun

kisi chaman mein bas is khauf se guzar na hua
kisi kali pe na bhule se panw dhar jaun

ye ji mein aati hai takhliq-e-fan ke lamhon mein
ki khun ban ke rag-e-sang mein utar jaun
