mein aisa zauq-e-zebaish ba-ru-e-kar le aaya
ki khud-arai ki khatir libas-e-dar le aaya

zamin ki mehwari gardish se umren ghatti badhti hain
guzarta waqt sae ko pas-e-diwar le aaya

magar mujh ko ye ehsas-e-nadamt mar dalega
parae ped se phal tod kar do chaar le aaya

ye sare log us ke haq mein rae dene wale hain
wo apni sari taswiren sar-e-bazar le aaya

jahan se wapsi ka rasta qismat se milta hai
wahan tak qafile ko qafila-salar le aaya

wirasat mein 'nasim' is se badi jagir kya hogi
main dil ki dhadkanon mein apni man ka pyar le aaya
