tamam umr mujhe us ki aarzu thahri
wo ek shakhs adawat hi jis ki khu thahri

jhuki to uth na saki sharm se nigah-e-talab
ye aur baat ki phir bhi wo surkh-ru thahri

mere labon se udasi magar na chhut saki
hazar saat-e-dushwar khush-gulu thahri

latif subh ki thandak hai zindagi teri
meri hayat bhari dopahar ki lu thahri

use utar ki ab sath ye nahin degi
qaba-e-kohnagi sharminda-e-rafu thahri

'nasim' raat thithurti hai ja ke so jao
badan mein ab wo kahan garmi-e-lahu thahri
