nibhaya ishq ne rishta jo pyaas paani ka
uḌa ke le gaya hosh-o-havas paani ka
kaTe shajar ke sisakte hue se patton par
dikha.i deta hai chehra udaas paani ka
sharif logon ki ankhon men aag rakh degi
pahan ke niklegi jab vo libas paani ka
vo aise dekhta rahta hai meri ankhon men
lagane baiTha huun jaise qayas paani ka
kinare ho ke khaḌe shor sun rahe ho kya
utar ke dekho tahon men hiras paani ka
tumhen sanvarne ki sajne ki kya zarurat hai
chamakta rahta hai ruḳh par ujaas paani ka
lipaT ga.e hain mire paanv se sabhi aflak
jo mere haath men aaya gilas paani ka
isi liye to mira sar buland rahta hai
hamesha azm raha mere paas paani ka
‘nadim’ ghuum ke saare jahan men dekh liya
koi bacha hi nahin ab shanas paani ka
