kis munh se zindagi ko wo raKHshanda kah saken
kis muñh se zindagī ko vo raḳhshanda kah sakeñ
jo mehr-o-māh ko bhī na tābinda kah sakeñ
vo din bhī huuñ ġhubār chhaTeñ āñdhiyāñ haTeñ
aur gul ko rañg-o-bū kā numā.inda kah sakeñ
taaza rakheñ sadā ḳhalish-e-zaḳhm ko ki ham
jo ab na kah sake kabhī ā.inda kah sakeñ
zindāñ meñ koī rauzan-e-zindāñ to ho ki log
jis haal meñ bhī dekheñ hameñ zinda kah sakeñ
har shai badal rahī hai ajab ujlatoñ meñ rañg
koī to naqsh ho jise pā.inda kah sakeñ
dil ke sivā hai kaun sā aisā charāġh shaam
be-nūr ho ke bhī jise raḳhshanda kah sakeñ
sadiyoñ navā-garoñ ko mayassar na aa mile
vo giit jin ko hasrat-e-sāzinda kah sakeñ
is daur meñ har ik ko hai ḳhud apnī justujū
koī nahīñ jise tirā joinda kah sakeñ
har sū udaas chehre haiñ itne ki ab 'nasīm'
kis ko dayār-e-dard kā bāshinda kah sakeñ
kis munh se zindagi ko wo raKHshanda kah saken
jo mehr-o-mah ko bhi na tabinda kah saken
wo din bhi hun ghubar chhaTen aandhiyan haTen
aur gul ko rang-o-bu ka numainda kah saken
taza rakhen sada KHalish-e-zaKHm ko ki hum
jo ab na kah sake kabhi aainda kah saken
zindan mein koi rauzan-e-zindan to ho ki log
jis haal mein bhi dekhen hamein zinda kah saken
har shai badal rahi hai ajab ujlaton mein rang
koi to naqsh ho jise painda kah saken
dil ke siwa hai kaun sa aisa charagh sham
be-nur ho ke bhi jise raKHshanda kah saken
sadiyon nawa-garon ko mayassar na aa mile
wo git jin ko hasrat-e-sazinda kah saken
is daur mein har ek ko hai KHud apni justuju
koi nahin jise tera joinda kah saken
har su udas chehre hain itne ki ab 'nasim'
kis ko dayar-e-dard ka bashinda kah saken
