mujhe zamin se mohabbat thi ja ke laut aaya
falak ko ishq ki azmat dikha ke laut aaya

charagh qabr-e-wafa par jala ke laut aaya
main apne dil ko thikane laga ke laut aaya

to sahn-e-asman sab bhar gaya sitaron se
main khak chand ke munh par uda ke laut aaya

amir-e-shahr mujhe taj dene wala tha
main ninw us ke mahal ki hila ke lut aaya

wo ek tir jo punji thi us ki aankhon ki
use main apne jigar mein dhansa ke laut aaya

bahaar aae na aae mere gulistan tak
main dasht-o-sahra mein ghunche khila ke laut aaya

main chahta tha wo jae to phir nahin aae
magar wo phir nai baaten bana ke laut aaya

bahut ghurur tha us ko buland hone par
main aasman ke sar ko jhuka ke laut aaya

subut meri mohabbat ka mangne walo
lahu se dar-o-rasan ko saja ke laut aaya

hawa ke panw bahut ladkhada rahe the 'nadim'
bahakti sham ko lemu chata ke laut aaya
