na jazb-e-shauq kaam aaya na soz-e-ishq kaam aaya
ishaare se usi ke chahne walon mein nam aaya

kise tab-e-nazar thi did ka jab hukm-e-am aaya
hazaron bijliyan kaundin wo jab baala-e-baam aaya

meri taqdir ki tarikiyan jab badh gain had se
siyah-khane mein mere aap wo mah-e-tamam aaya

hua ehsas rukhsat intiha-e-yas-o-hirman mein
hamein kya ab agar us ka payam aaya salam aaya

muqaddar ki tahi-dasti ne badla rang-e-mahfil ko
hui mina tahi jis waqt mujh tak daur-e-jam aaya

jahan bhatki hui khud rahbar ki rahbari nikli
bil-akhir ek rah-e-ishq mein aisa maqam aaya

tabahi to usi din kaenat-e-ishq mein aai
liye jab husn lakhon mahsharon ka ehtimam aaya

nigah-e-dil se main ne husn ko ek bar dekha tha
ki lene ishq mujh se zindagi ka intiqam aaya

nasib-e-ishq the dar-o-rasan ai husn albatta
ye kis ke sar raha ilzam kis par ittiham aaya

hai 'nami' didani us ki sahar ki hashr-samani
balaen ban ke jis kambakht par har-waqt-e-sham aaya
