tujh se tadbir-o-amal katba-e-taqdir na dekh
khwab sarmaya tera khwab ki tabir na dekh

dekh kis fard ke dil mein hai siyahi kitni
kis ke chehre pe hai bikhri hui tanwir na dekh

har musawwir ka gham-e-dil hai talabgar-e-nazar
ek tajir ki tarah khaka-o-taswir na dekh

aaj bhi jang ke baadal hain jahan par chhae
ahd-namon se ayan amn ki tahrir na dekh

aatish-e-qalb se teshe hue ashaar 'nadim'
ham-nashin un mein kabhi barf ki tasir na dekh
