kis burj mein falak ne sitare milae hain
kis burj meñ falak ne sitāre milā.e haiñ
dast-e-shab-e-firāq meñ saa.e hī saa.e haiñ
gulzār-e-zindagī ke haiñ gul-dān ke nahīñ
ye phuul kār-ḳhāna-e-qudarat se aa.e haiñ
ḳhasta hue tane to jaḌeñ phūTne lagīñ
peḌoñ ne apne apne badan phir ugaa.e haiñ
sāmān-e-būd-o-bāsh thā jañgal se shahr tak
ham apnā bojh nafs ke ghoḌoñ pe laa.e haiñ
duniyā meñ itne shor-sharābe ke bāvajūd
jo bolte nahīñ haiñ vahī ahl-e-rā.e haiñ
ham sar-phiroñ kā zauq-e-sukūnat na pūchhiye
jab shahr tañg ho ga.e sahrā basā.e haiñ
lagtā hai apnā zehn bhī apnā nahīñ 'nasīm'
ḳhud-sāḳhta ḳhayāl bhī jaise parā.e haiñ
kis burj mein falak ne sitare milae hain
dast-e-shab-e-firaq mein sae hi sae hain
gulzar-e-zindagi ke hain gul-dan ke nahin
ye phul kar-KHana-e-qudarat se aae hain
KHasta hue tane to jaDen phuTne lagin
peDon ne apne apne badan phir ugae hain
saman-e-bud-o-bash tha jangal se shahr tak
hum apna bojh nafs ke ghoDon pe lae hain
duniya mein itne shor-sharabe ke bawajud
jo bolte nahin hain wahi ahl-e-rae hain
hum sar-phiron ka zauq-e-sukunat na puchhiye
jab shahr tang ho gae sahra basae hain
lagta hai apna zehn bhi apna nahin 'nasim'
KHud-saKHta KHayal bhi jaise parae hain
