nazar ke samne husn-e-bahaar rahne de

nazar ke sāmne husn-e-bahār rahne de

jamāl-e-dīd ko parvar-digār rahne de

savāl-e-shauq kā koī javāb ho ki na ho

hamāre dil meñ umīdeñ hazār rahne de

na dekh hadd-e-nazar duur tak samundar hai

rifāqateñ abhī sāhil ke paar rahne de

karam-shi.ār na the mo'atabar nahīñ Thahre

so aaj ham ko zarā dil-figār rahne de

ye chāñd roz na.e ḳhvāb kyoñ dikhāne lagā

bas ek ḳhvāb nigāhoñ pe baar rahne de

jo sozish-e-lab-e-jāñ mustaqil navā-gar ho

to phir kahāñ koī ġham musta.ār rahne de

'nasīm' ab to ye māhaul raas aaya hai

ḳhudā kare tū ise sāzgār rahne de

nazar ke samne husn-e-bahaar rahne de

jamal-e-did ko parwar-digar rahne de

sawal-e-shauq ka koi jawab ho ki na ho

hamare dil mein umiden hazar rahne de

na dekh hadd-e-nazar dur tak samundar hai

rifaqaten abhi sahil ke par rahne de

karam-shiar na the mo'atabar nahin Thahre

so aaj hum ko zara dil-figar rahne de

ye chand roz nae KHwab kyon dikhane laga

bas ek KHwab nigahon pe bar rahne de

jo sozish-e-lab-e-jaan mustaqil nawa-gar ho

to phir kahan koi gham mustaar rahne de

'nasim' ab to ye mahaul ras aaya hai

KHuda kare tu ise sazgar rahne de
