nazar aata hai uthta jaan se dil se dhuan mujh ko
dayar-e-ishq mein rahna hai ek bar-e-garan mujh ko

sitam-pesha mere afsana-e-gham ko nahin sunta
so kahna hai ba-andaz-e-hadis-e-digaran mujh ko

sawad-e-sham hai jalte hue khemon ka manzar hai
yahin aawaz deti hai koi nok-e-sinan mujh ko

meri mauj-e-rawan ki sab rawani khatm kar dega
bana dega wo har unwan-e-umr-e-raegan mujh ko

hamesha dur se wo imtihan-e-shauq karta hai
kabhi pahlu mein bhi bithlae yar-e-mehrban mujh ko

bharam rakhna hai kuchh to izzat-e-sadat ka aakhir
ki ab hone lagi hain ishq mein ruswaiyan mujh ko

mata-e-naqd-e-jaan khud rahzan ki nazr kar deta
agar main jaanna lautega mir-e-karwan mujh ko

suna aashob-e-wahshat aur fishaar-e-zat ka naghma
'nadim' ab karwan-e-dard le aaya kahan mujh ko
