KHud ko hujum-e-dahr mein khona paDa mujhe
ḳhud ko hujūm-e-dahr meñ khonā paḌā mujhe
jaise the log vaisā hī honā paḌā mujhe
dushman ko marte dekh ke logoñ ke sāmne
dil hañs rahā thā aañkh se ronā paḌā mujhe
kuchh is qadar the phuul zamīñ par khile hue
tāroñ ko āsmān meñ bonā paḌā mujhe
aisī shikast thī ki kaTī uñgliyoñ ke saath
kāñToñ kā ek haar pironā paḌā mujhe
kaarī nahīñ thā vaar magar ek umr tak
āb-e-namak se zaḳhm ko dhonā paḌā mujhe
āsāñ nahīñ hai likhnā ġham-e-dil kī vārdāt
apnā qalam lahū meñ Dubonā paḌā mujhe
itnī tavīl o sard shab-e-hijr thī 'nasīm'
kitnī hī baar jāgnā sonā paḌā mujhe
KHud ko hujum-e-dahr mein khona paDa mujhe
jaise the log waisa hi hona paDa mujhe
dushman ko marte dekh ke logon ke samne
dil hans raha tha aankh se rona paDa mujhe
kuchh is qadar the phul zamin par khile hue
taron ko aasman mein bona paDa mujhe
aisi shikast thi ki kaTi ungliyon ke sath
kanTon ka ek haar pirona paDa mujhe
kari nahin tha war magar ek umr tak
aab-e-namak se zaKHm ko dhona paDa mujhe
aasan nahin hai likhna gham-e-dil ki wardat
apna qalam lahu mein Dubona paDa mujhe
itni tawil o sard shab-e-hijr thi 'nasim'
kitni hi bar jagna sona paDa mujhe
