zikr-e-nashat khalwat-e-gham mein bura lage
tum bhi agar milo to mujhe hadisa lage

jab bhi kisi ki sai-e-karam ki hawa lage
mujh ko mera wajud bikharta hua lage

hun mujrim-e-hayat mujhe kyun bura lage
ye daur-e-zindagi jo musalsal saza lage

is daur ka nasib hai wo manzil-e-hayat
ahbab ka khulus jahan saneha lage

haalat sans lete hain dahshat ki chhanw mein
mera zamir mujh hi se darta hua lage

yun uth gai hai dahr se apnaiyat ki ab
miliye jo khud se bhi to koi dusra lage

is tarah raegan gai 'nazish' meri wafa
jaise kisi faqir ke dar par sada lage
