itna na ghum raat ko phulon ki bas mein
itnā na ghuum raat ko phūloñ kī baas meñ
so.e paḌe haiñ chāroñ taraf saañp ghaas meñ
har samt us ne ātishī shīshe lagā diye
saḌkoñ pe log aa.e the kaale libās meñ
gardish meñ zindagī rahī afvāh kī tarah
umreñ guzār dī ga.iiñ ḳhauf-o-hirās meñ
aglā nisāb nūr-e-basīrat se paḌh liyā
āñkheñ to chhoḌ aa.e the pahlī class meñ
ye aur baat zer-e-zamīñ dafn ho ga.iiñ
varna jaḌoñ kā ḳhuun hai phal kī miThās meñ
ab baar baar us kī taraf dekhte ho kyā
ab sirf merī tishna-labī hai gilās meñ
manzar kisī tilism kī zad meñ na ho 'nasīm'
sarsoñ kā rañg dauḌ rahā hai kapās meñ
itna na ghum raat ko phulon ki bas mein
soe paDe hain chaaron taraf sanp ghas mein
har samt us ne aatishi shishe laga diye
saDkon pe log aae the kale libas mein
gardish mein zindagi rahi afwah ki tarah
umren guzar di gain KHauf-o-hiras mein
agla nisab nur-e-basirat se paDh liya
aankhen to chhoD aae the pahli class mein
ye aur baat zer-e-zamin dafn ho gain
warna jaDon ka KHun hai phal ki miThas mein
ab bar bar us ki taraf dekhte ho kya
ab sirf meri tishna-labi hai gilas mein
manzar kisi tilism ki zad mein na ho 'nasim'
sarson ka rang dauD raha hai kapas mein
