zulf us ki meri zunnar hui jati hai
be-khudi aur mazedar hui jati hai

pad gae chashm-e-sitam-gar ke sharare hum par
tab zakhmon ki pur-asrar hui jati hai

shukr hai hum ko mohabbat ne bachae rakkha
warna ye duniya to bimar hui jati hai

wahshaton hi ki kashakash ka karishma hai ye
ruh mitti ki bhi bedar hui jati hai

aablon ne jo udai hai hansi zalim ki
dasht ki khak bhi gulzar hui jati hai

aaj phir us ki tamannaon ne aankhen kholin
aaj virani chaman-zar hui jati hai

is ada se wo utar aaya meri dhadkan mein
zindagi apni tarahdar hui jati hai

ishq ne aisi bulandi ki odhai chadar
ab mohabbat mera kirdar hui jati hai

aah ki badli barasti hai sar-e-sham 'nadim'
raat ehsas se sarshaar hui jati hai
