kabhi KHun hoti hue aur kabhi jalte dekha

kabhī ḳhuuñ hotī hue aur kabhī jalte dekhā

dil ko har baar nayā rañg badalte dekhā

jab ye chāhā ki likheñ vasf-e-safā-e-ruḳh-e-yār

saf.he par pā-e-qalam ham ne phisalte dekhā

mai meñ ye baat kahāñ jo tire diide meñ hai

jis ko dekhā ki girā phir na sambhalte dekhā

uf re soz-e-dil-e-āshiq ki lahad par us ke

sañg-e-marmar sifat-e-barf pighalte dekhā

dil ke lene meñ ye qudarat use allāh na de

jis ko miTTī ke khilaune pe machalte dekhā

dil kā kyā rañg hai tum phir bhī na samjhe afsos

chashma-e-chashm se ḳhūnāb ubalte dekhā

hai ye saaqī kī karāmat ki nahīñ jaam ke paañv

aur phir bazm meñ sab ne use chalte dekhā

vā.iz-o-shaiḳh sabhī ḳhuub haiñ kyā batlā.ūñ

maiñ ne maiḳhāne se kis kis ko nikalte dekhā

parda kyuuñ kartā hai 'nāzim' tire ghar aa.e the

raat ko ham ne unheñ bhes badalte dekhā

kabhi KHun hoti hue aur kabhi jalte dekha

dil ko har bar naya rang badalte dekha

jab ye chaha ki likhen wasf-e-safa-e-ruKH-e-yar

safhe par pa-e-qalam hum ne phisalte dekha

mai mein ye baat kahan jo tere dide mein hai

jis ko dekha ki gira phir na sambhalte dekha

uf re soz-e-dil-e-ashiq ki lahad par us ke

sang-e-marmar sifat-e-barf pighalte dekha

dil ke lene mein ye qudarat use allah na de

jis ko miTTi ke khilaune pe machalte dekha

dil ka kya rang hai tum phir bhi na samjhe afsos

chashma-e-chashm se KHunab ubalte dekha

hai ye saqi ki karamat ki nahin jam ke panw

aur phir bazm mein sab ne use chalte dekha

waiz-o-shaiKH sabhi KHub hain kya batlaun

main ne maiKHane se kis kis ko nikalte dekha

parda kyun karta hai 'nazim' tere ghar aae the

raat ko hum ne unhen bhes badalte dekha
