unhin kanton se jo phulon ki zaban hote hain
kitne afsane gulistan ke bayan hote hain

main hi aawara sa phirta hun kisi ki khatir
log yun raat ko sadkon pe kahan hote hain

chhod dete hain wahan dard ke kitne nashtar
hum ghazal-khwan teri mahfil mein jahan hote hain

ek had tak jo bujha dete the shoale dil ke
ab in aankhon mein wo aansu bhi kahan hote hain

ek duniya-e-khirad dil se lipat jati hai
hum jo us shokh ki jaanib nigaran hote hain

hum wo andesha-e-farda hain chaman mein 'nazim'
gul ke chehre se jo har aan ayan hote hain
