shuur-e-ishq mile ru-e-dar raqs karun
hain mere pas bahane hazar raqs karun

gulu-e-khushk ki shah-e-rag thak ke kahti hai
kuchh aur tez ho khanjar ki dhaar raqs karun

tawaf-e-khana-e-dildar gar nasib nahin
khud apne dil ka bana kar mazar raqs karun

barahna jism hai kohna libas phat gaya hai
so odh kar main rida-e-ghubar raqs karun

ujad dasht mein maqtal ye bar bar saje
lahu mein dub ke main bar bar raqs karun

ani kuchh aur chubha ai sitam-shiar ki main
tadap ke dard mein be-band-o-bar raqs karun

dua hai meri main zakhmon ki tab la na sakun
sharab maut ka jage khumar raqs karun

suna chuka sar-e-neza main ek taza ghazal
'nadim' hai mujhe ab ikhtiyar raqs karun
