nazar ke samne husn-e-bahaar rahne de
jamal-e-did ko parwar-digar rahne de

sawal-e-shauq ka koi jawab ho ki na ho
hamare dil mein umiden hazar rahne de

na dekh hadd-e-nazar dur tak samundar hai
rifaqaten abhi sahil ke par rahne de

karam-shiar na the mo'atabar nahin thahre
so aaj hum ko zara dil-figar rahne de

ye chand roz nae khwab kyon dikhane laga
bas ek khwab nigahon pe bar rahne de

jo sozish-e-lab-e-jaan mustaqil nawa-gar ho
to phir kahan koi gham mustaar rahne de

'nasim' ab to ye mahaul ras aaya hai
khuda kare tu ise sazgar rahne de
