khuli hai aankh josh-e-intizar-e-yar-e-jani hai
ba-mushkil dida-e-zanjir ḳhvab-e-pasbani hai
labon par aa chuka dam koi dam ki zindagani hai
chal uth o bevafa pahlu se ab kyuun mehrbani hai
laga duun aag uf karne men vo shoala-zabani hai
ba-shakl-e-shama saare jism men soz-e-nihani hai
kalam-e-hazrat-e-vaiz nasib-e-dushmanan bashad
unDelo mai piyo saghar kahan phir naujavani hai
umangen hain tabiat men bhari hain mastiyan dil men
hui jaati hain ankhen band kaif-e-naujavani hai
azab-e-ghaflat-e-qatil se ranj-e-kash-makash men huun
madad ai marg-e-be-taqsir zauq-e-jan-fishani hai
ḳhabar kya puchhta hai ham-nafas kyuun kar guzarti hai
jigar jalta hai dil bhunta hai ashkon ki ravani hai
ada-o-naz-e-ima chashm-e-ghamza go vo koi ho
taalluq jis se ho jaae bala-e-nagahani hai
pasand aai hai is darja aziyyat dosti ham ko
nazar men dhuup bhi dasht-e-musibat ke suhani hai
ḳhayal-e-mirzai ai ‘nasim’-dehlavi kab tak
jhuko buDDhe hue ab ruḳhsat-e-lutf-e-javani hai
