wo jo ek umr se masruf ibaadat mein the
aankh kholi to abhi arsa-e-zulmat mein the

sirf aafat na thin zat-e-ilahi ka subut
phul bhi dasht mein the hashr bhi jazbaat mein the

na ye taqdir ka likha tha na mansha-e-khuda
hadse mujh pe jo guzre mere haalat mein the

main ne ki hadd-e-nazar par to ye raaz khula
aasman the to faqat mere khayalat mein the

mere dil par to girin aable ban kar bunden
kaun si yaad ke sahra the jo barsat mein the

is sabab se bhi to main qabil-e-nafrat thahra
jitne jauhar the mohabbat ke meri zat mein the

sirf shaitan hi na tha munkir-e-takrim 'nadim'
arsh par jitne farishte the meri ghat mein the
