Tere dar se main uTha lekin na mera dil uTha

tere dar se main uTha lekin na mera dil uTha
chhoD kar ho jis tarah kasa koi sail uTha

qais kya jaane ki mera dekhna manzur tha
KHud-baKHud ho jab hawa se parda-e-mahmil uTha

girye ne pahle hi apna kar rakha tha bandobast
main uTha bhi wan se chalne ko to pa-dar-gil uTha

bosa-e-ariz mujhe dete hue Darta hai kyun
lunga kya nok-e-zaban se teri ruKH ka til uTha

jab uTha KHanjar na us se is ada par mar gae
hum se bhi goya na bar-e-minnat-e-qatil uTha

shikwa-e-bar-e-gham-e-hijran hai KHat mein mundaraj
nama-bar kab ho ke mere nami ka hail uTha

ghair ne aa kar nahin ki gudgudi gar KHwab mein
nind se kyun is tarah hansta hua khil-khil uTha

garche rakhta hun kahin aur panw paDta hai kahin
par ghanimat hai ki hai munh jaanib-e-manzil uTha

ashk go aatish nahin 'nazim' magar tezab hai
dekh chashm-e-tar se apni aastin ghafil uTha
