na puchh ai ham-nashin hum kis liye lachaar baithe hain
mataa-e-jaan-o-iman kho chuke hain haar baithe hain

kisi ke gham mein jaan-e-zar se bezar baithe hain
utha hai dard sa pahlu mein hum lachaar baithe hain

khabar bhi hai tumhein uftadgan-e-ku-e-ulfat ki
hazaron chahne wale pas-e-diwar baithe hain

masiha safh-e-hasti pe junun ko dagh samjha hai
wo tere chahne wale tere bimar baithe hain

nigah-e-mast se apni kaho tayyar ho jae
ki diwane tumhaare aaj phir hushiyar baithe hain

saza kya bargah-e-naz se milti hai dekhenge
gunah-garan-e-ulfat der se tayyar baithe hain

nigah-e-lutf-e-saqi dekhiye uthti hai kis kis par
dar-e-mai-khana par ab sainkadon mai-khwar baithe hain

hua 'nami' jo dil rukhsat to ummid-e-wafa kis se
zamane mein bhala aise kahin gham-khwar baithe hain
