husn se kam nahin martaba ishq ka

husn se kam nahīñ martaba ishq kā

vo bhī sho.ala-badan ham bhī ātish-navā

ik tabassum kī auqāt kyā thī magar

aaj tak jheltā huuñ usī kī sazā

pyaar kī ret par sarḳhushī kā mahal

sāda-lauhī kī bhī ho ga.ī intihā

the kabhī naġhma-e-mahfil-e-gul-ruḳhāñ

aaj ham ho ga.e jañgaloñ kī sadā

laao mar ke bhī dekheñ kisī raah meñ

shāyad aa jaa.e yuuñ zindagī kī adā

koī āñchal hī 'nāzim' na thā baḳht meñ

varna aañsū the mere gul-e-be-bahā

husn se kam nahin martaba ishq ka

wo bhi shoala-badan hum bhi aatish-nawa

ek tabassum ki auqat kya thi magar

aaj tak jhelta hun usi ki saza

pyar ki ret par sarKHushi ka mahal

sada-lauhi ki bhi ho gai intiha

the kabhi naghma-e-mahfil-e-gul-ruKHan

aaj hum ho gae jangalon ki sada

lao mar ke bhi dekhen kisi rah mein

shayad aa jae yun zindagi ki ada

koi aanchal hi 'nazim' na tha baKHt mein

warna aansu the mere gul-e-be-baha
