raushni ban kar andhere mein bikhar jata hai kaun
rafta rafta zehn ke andar utar jata hai kaun

muntashir hota to hai lekin sanwar jata hai kaun
reza reza ho ke bhi yaksar nikhar jata hai kaun

apni apni zid pe qaem hain abhi dil aur dimagh
dekhna hai waqt ki thokar se dar jata hai kaun

jaanta hun meri mushkil ki dawa hai tere pas
mangne khairaat lekin tere ghar jata hai kaun

sarhaden mayusiyon ki badhti jati hain 'nasim'
daman-e-ummid itna tang kar jata hai kaun
