kabhi hota hun zahir jalwa-e-husn-e-niko ho kar
kabhī hotā huuñ zāhir jalva-e-husn-e-niko ho kar
kabhī ḳhātir meñ chhup jaatā huuñ terī aarzū ho kar
kabhī kam ho ke sharmātā huuñ misl-e-qatra sāġhar meñ
kabhī kasrat se ruk jaatā huuñ shīshe kā gulū ho kar
baḌhā letā huuñ aksar rabt yār-e-pāk-dāman se
lipaT jaatā huuñ dast-o-pā se maiñ āb-e-vuzū ho kar
sukūnat se bahut baḌh ke hai merī ḳhāna-bar-doshī
rahā kartā huuñ har ḳhātir meñ terī justujū ho kar
nahīñ hai ehtiyāj-e-ġhair vaqt-e-josh-e-betābī
chhalak jaatā huuñ be-taklīf saaqī maiñ subū ho kar
sikhā.ī hai na.ī tadbīr mujh ko merī ḳhātir ne
pasand aatā huuñ dushman ko bhī terī guftugū ho kar
nahīñ chaltī koī tadbīr kyā kyā fikr karte haiñ
maiñ kar detā huuñ qaa.il sab ko terī guftugū ho kar
taqāzā-e-tamannā se na ik jā do-ghaḌī baiThe
phirāyā umr-bhar aalam meñ terī justujū ho kar
na kyuuñ kar shor ho aalam meñ merī fikr-e-ḳhātir kā
diloñ ko khīñch letā huuñ tumhārā rañg-e-rū ho kar
nahīñ mumkin kabhī tar-dāmanī meñ farq kuchh aa.e
bahā karte haiñ ashk-e-chashm mere āb-jū ho kar
nishāñ kyā pūchhte ho be-nishānoñ ke Thikānoñ kā
dimāġhoñ meñ rahā kartā huuñ maiñ gesū kī bū ho kar
kabhī mulk-e-halab meñ huuñ kabhī shahr-e-ḳhutan meñ huuñ
nahīñ rahtā tirī shohrat kī sūrat ek sū ho kar
ḳharāsh-e-zaḳhm-e-sīna muddatoñ kā duur kartā huuñ
lipaT jaatā huuñ jab shāne se zulf-e-mushk-bū ho kar
kamī maiñ bhī mirī hastī kī hastī aur paidā hai
kabhī abrū bhī ban jaatā huuñ qasr-e-ābrū ho kar
uThā letā huuñ jo aa.e musībat apne sar par maiñ
sahā kartā huuñ zulm-e-dil-rubā āshiq kī ḳhū ho kar
bhalī ko bhī samajhtā huuñ burī har dost dushman kī
nahīñ qaabū meñ maiñ rahtā mizāj-e-jañg-jū ho kar
mire soz-e-darūñ meñ sau tarah ke lutf hāsil haiñ
jalātā huuñ diloñ ko yād-e-yār-e-sham.a-rū ho kar
lahū se pairahan tar dekh kar yāroñ ne farmāyā
'nasīm' aayā hai kū-e-yār se kyā surḳh-rū ho kar
kabhi hota hun zahir jalwa-e-husn-e-niko ho kar
kabhi KHatir mein chhup jata hun teri aarzu ho kar
kabhi kam ho ke sharmata hun misl-e-qatra saghar mein
kabhi kasrat se ruk jata hun shishe ka gulu ho kar
baDha leta hun aksar rabt yar-e-pak-daman se
lipaT jata hun dast-o-pa se main aab-e-wuzu ho kar
sukunat se bahut baDh ke hai meri KHana-bar-doshi
raha karta hun har KHatir mein teri justuju ho kar
nahin hai ehtiyaj-e-ghair waqt-e-josh-e-betabi
chhalak jata hun be-taklif saqi main subu ho kar
sikhai hai nai tadbir mujh ko meri KHatir ne
pasand aata hun dushman ko bhi teri guftugu ho kar
nahin chalti koi tadbir kya kya fikr karte hain
main kar deta hun qail sab ko teri guftugu ho kar
taqaza-e-tamanna se na ek ja do-ghaDi baiThe
phiraya umr-bhar aalam mein teri justuju ho kar
na kyun kar shor ho aalam mein meri fikr-e-KHatir ka
dilon ko khinch leta hun tumhaara rang-e-ru ho kar
nahin mumkin kabhi tar-damani mein farq kuchh aae
baha karte hain ashk-e-chashm mere aab-ju ho kar
nishan kya puchhte ho be-nishanon ke Thikanon ka
dimaghon mein raha karta hun main gesu ki bu ho kar
kabhi mulk-e-halab mein hun kabhi shahr-e-KHutan mein hun
nahin rahta teri shohrat ki surat ek su ho kar
KHarash-e-zaKHm-e-sina muddaton ka dur karta hun
lipaT jata hun jab shane se zulf-e-mushk-bu ho kar
kami main bhi meri hasti ki hasti aur paida hai
kabhi abru bhi ban jata hun qasr-e-abru ho kar
uTha leta hun jo aae musibat apne sar par main
saha karta hun zulm-e-dil-ruba aashiq ki KHu ho kar
bhali ko bhi samajhta hun buri har dost dushman ki
nahin qabu mein main rahta mizaj-e-jang-ju ho kar
mere soz-e-darun mein sau tarah ke lutf hasil hain
jalata hun dilon ko yaad-e-yar-e-shama-ru ho kar
lahu se pairahan tar dekh kar yaron ne farmaya
'nasim' aaya hai ku-e-yar se kya surKH-ru ho kar
