Nazar tak aaya hai pahchan tak nahin aaya

nazar tak aaya hai pahchan tak nahin aaya
ye wahima abhi imkan tak nahin aaya

jarahat-e-gham-e-dauran ki ibtida kahiye
dil-e-jahan-zada paikan tak nahin aaya

wo aur baat ki jaan ki aman mangi thi
main us ki baiat-o-paikan tak nahin aaya

bas us ke lams ka ilham hi utarta hai
wo mere mushaf-e-wijdan tak nahin aaya

ye zindagi to nafi mein guzar di main ne
par us ke halqa-e-mizan tak nahin aaya

kitab-e-husn ki tabir KHair kya karta
'nadim' aaina unwan tak nahin aaya
