Poet
safar hai dushvar khvab kab tak bahut padi manzil-e-adam hai
‘nasim’ jaago kamar ko bandho uthao bistar ki raat kam hai
‘nasim’ ghaflat ki chal rahi hai umand rahi hain qaza ki ninden
kuchh aisa soe hain sone vaale ki jagna hashr tak qasam hai
javani-o-husn-o-jah-o-daulat ye chand anfas ke hain jhagde
ajal hai istada dast-basta naved-e-rukhsat har ek dam hai
basan-e-dast-e-saval saail tahi hon har ek muddaa se
niyaz hai be-niyaziyon se baghal men dil surat-e-sanam hai
maal-e-kar-e-jahan-e-fani kabhi nahin ek qaede par
jo chaar din hai vufur-e-rahat to baad is ke gham-o-alam hai
daregh karna na zor-e-bazu mita le saari kuduraton ko
havas na rah jaae koi qatil ki sar tah-e-khanjar-e-do-dam hai
zaban roko bahak rahe ho surur-e-do-shina josh par hai
mai-e-visal-e-shab-e-tamanna har ek lab se abhi baham hai
ye misra-e-mukhbir-e-musibat kamal ham ko pasand aaya
‘nasim’ jaago kamar ko bandho uthao bistar ki raat kam hai
