mujhe ras aa gai hai yahi haalat-e-pareshan
kabhi sham sham bijli kabhi gam gam tufan

meri sham gul-badaman meri shab shab-e-charaghan
tere dam qadam se kya kya hai farogh-e-ah-e-sozan

main jahan jahan bhi thahra shab-e-tar ke sahaare
wahi raqs-e-ahuan tha sar-e-daman-e-bayaban

dil-e-zar de sanbhaala ki rah-e-wafa kathin hai
kahin rahguzar ke kante mujhe kar na den pasheman

isi raushni se lekin wo hikayaten hain zinda
mere dost bujh na jae ye charagh-e-ahd-o-paiman

ba-hazar sarfaroshi wo nazar nibha raha hun
mujhe ye nahin gawara ki ho khwab-e-gham pareshan

mujhe aasra hai 'nazish' ki abhi nahin to aage
mere khun-e-dil se hoga rah-e-shauq mein charaghan
