meri jaanib teri nazar na hui

merī jānib tirī nazar na huī

kyoñ harīf-e-dil-o-jigar na huī

fāsloñ ke dahakte sahrā meñ

qurb kī chhāñv mo'atabar na huī

kitnī rātoñ kā zahr pī kar bhī

pyaas āsūda-e-sahar na huī

yuuñ dabe paañv zindagī guzrī

hādsoñ ko bhī kuchh ḳhabar na huī

sham.a-bardār-e-vaqt the phir bhī

ham se taz.īn-e-bām-o-dar na huī

terī parvāz-e-fikr ai 'nāzim'

kabhī mohtāj-e-bāl-o-par na huī

meri jaanib teri nazar na hui

kyon harif-e-dil-o-jigar na hui

faslon ke dahakte sahra mein

qurb ki chhanw mo'atabar na hui

kitni raaton ka zahr pi kar bhi

pyas aasuda-e-sahar na hui

yun dabe panw zindagi guzri

hadson ko bhi kuchh KHabar na hui

shama-bardar-e-waqt the phir bhi

hum se tazin-e-baam-o-dar na hui

teri parwaz-e-fikr ai 'nazim'

kabhi mohtaj-e-baal-o-par na hui
