aa gaya dhyan mein mazmun teri yaktai ka
aaj matla hua misra meri tanhai ka
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
afsana-e-majnun se nahin kam mera qissa
is baat ko jaane do ki mashhur nahin hai
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
and mahram ke wo khulwate hain hum se beshtar
aaj-kal sone ki chiDiya hai hamare hath mein
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
arson DhunDa kiye hum dair-o-haram mein lekin
kahin paya na pata us but-e-harjai ka
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
e diye le uDa kabutar KHat
yun pahunchta hai upar upar KHat
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
hala kya tana dun zuhhad ko zuhd-e-riyai ka
paDhi hai main ne masjid mein namaz-e-be-wazu barson
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
osa-e-ariz mujhe dete hue Darta hai kyun
lunga kya nok-e-zaban se tere ruKH ka til uTha
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
chahun ki haal-e-wahshat-e-dil kuchh raqam karun
bhagen huruf waqt-e-nigarish qalam se du
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
chale ho dasht ko 'nazim' agar mile majnun
zara hamari taraf se bhi pyar kar lena
Syed Yusuf Ali Khan Nazim
