matam bahut raha mujhe ashk-e-chakida ka
aakhir ko pas aa hi gaya nur dida ka

nam-firaq phir na liya main ne umr-bhar
tha zaiqa zaban pe azab-e-chashida ka

ab wo maza nahin lab-e-shirin ke qand mein
chusa hua hai ye kisi khidmat-rasida ka

ai charkh-e-pir-zor jawani se dar-guzar
ab pas chahiye tujhe pusht-e-khamida ka

abru mein kham jabin mein shikan aankh mein ghazab
kya muddaa hai qatil-e-khanjar-kashida ka

daulat gharaz na thi jo dua se hui husul
tha aur muddaa mere dast-e-kashida ka

ai sakinan-e-charkh-e-mualla bacho bacho
tufan hua buland mere aab-dida ka

wo na-tawaniyan hain ki jism-e-zaif par
jama hai ankabut ke dam-e-tanida ka

be-did did mein nahin aate kisi tarah
gham aashiyan hai tair-e-rang-parida ka

udte hain hosh koi bhala kis tarah sune
afsana tere wahshi-e-az-khud-ramida ka

o gul khayal hai araq-e-jism ka tere
shisha hai dil hamara gulab-e-chakida ka

yaad-e-nigah-e-mast se hai dil ko intishaar
paimana hai kharab sharab-e-chakida ka

qatil khuda se dar hawas-e-zabh ta-kuja
nala na sun kisi ke gulu-e-burida ka

masti ke walwalon ka jawani mein lutf hai
piri mein dhyan chahiye qadd-khamida ka

jalwe dikha raha hai ye farsh-e-zamurradin
sabza mazar par hai giyah-e-damida ka

chadhti hai roz chadar-e-gul jalte hain charagh
ye dher hai zarur kisi barguzida ka

baalon ko ai 'nasim' rangoge khizab se
sak ko asa banaoge pusht-e-khamida ka
