usi amal ki zara si sharab deta chal
sharar ke hath mein koi gulab deta chal

wo intishaar-e-gham-e-zist mein jila dega
magar usi ko khushi ki kitab deta chal

har ek sawal ka milta raha jawab tujhe
kisi sawal ka tu bhi jawab deta chal

yahan to teri hukumat ka karkhana tha
kabhi hamare ghamon ka hisab deta chal

zamin sukun ki haalat mein aaegi lekin
use 'nadim' ki sheari kitab deta chal
