aaj sayyaad ne bhule se chaman dikhlaya

aaj sayyād ne bhūle se chaman dikhlāyā

merī taqdīr ne phir mujh ko vatan dikhlāyā

ain mastī meñ jo vo shoḳh huā sar ki jabīñ

ye uḌe hosh ki nashshe ne hiran dikhlāyā

jhuT-puTā vaqt huā maut kā sāmāñ shab-e-vasl

sahar-e-hijr kā murdoñ ne kafan dikhlāyā

chāñd ko dekhte haiñ loTte añgāroñ par

tum ne kyuuñ kabk-e-darī ko ye chalan dikhlāyā

aa.e vallāh dil-e-hairān meñ kyā kuchh armāñ

us ne ā.īne ko tan tan ke jo tan dikhlāyā

marte jiite hī rahe ham to ajī dam dam meñ

na kamar us ne dikhā.ī na dahan dikhlāyā

yaad meñ phuul se gāloñ ke sambhālā dil ko

kabhī nasrīñ to kabhī us ko saman dikhlāyā

phir tirā shor-e-tabassum jo namak-rez huā

phir mirā taaza mujhe zaḳhm-e-kuhan dikhlāyā

kal jo thā va.ada-e-vasl aaj vo fardā niklā

din qayāmat kā to ai va.ada-shikan dikhlāyā

kyuuñ na maiñ ḳhaar banūñ chashm-e-raqībāñ meñ 'nasīm'

phuul se gaal mujhe ġhuncha-dahan dikhlāyā

aaj sayyaad ne bhule se chaman dikhlaya

meri taqdir ne phir mujh ko watan dikhlaya

ain masti mein jo wo shoKH hua sar ki jabin

ye uDe hosh ki nashshe ne hiran dikhlaya

jhuT-puTa waqt hua maut ka saman shab-e-wasl

sahar-e-hijr ka murdon ne kafan dikhlaya

chand ko dekhte hain loTte angaron par

tum ne kyun kabk-e-dari ko ye chalan dikhlaya

aae wallah dil-e-hairan mein kya kuchh arman

us ne aaine ko tan tan ke jo tan dikhlaya

marte jite hi rahe hum to aji dam dam mein

na kamar us ne dikhai na dahan dikhlaya

yaad mein phul se galon ke sambhaala dil ko

kabhi nasrin to kabhi us ko saman dikhlaya

phir tera shor-e-tabassum jo namak-rez hua

phir mera taza mujhe zaKHm-e-kuhan dikhlaya

kal jo tha wada-e-wasl aaj wo farda nikla

din qayamat ka to ai wada-shikan dikhlaya

kyun na main KHar banun chashm-e-raqiban mein 'nasim'

phul se gal mujhe ghuncha-dahan dikhlaya
