janam janam kī takān hotī na bāl-o-par meñ
jo chand lamhe guzār letā tarī nazar meñ

chale ho ghar se to kaam ā.eñge saath le lo
vafā kī ḳhushbū vafā kā saaya kaḌe safar meñ

rivāyatoñ se gurez kaisā chalo jagā.eñ
nasīb soyā huā hai apnā isī khañDar meñ

ġhazab kā sūd-o-ziyāñ hai apne mizāj meñ ab
balā kī ThanDak utar chakkī hai rag-e-sharar meñ

kabhī to saarā jahān ham ko lagā hai apnā
kabhī nazar aa.e ajnabī se ḳhud apne ghar meñ

gal aur titlī pe tabsira kyā 'nadīm' karte
bujhe ho.e dil jale makānāt the nazar meñ

janam janam ki takan hoti na baal-o-par mein
jo chand lamhe guzar leta tari nazar mein

chale ho ghar se to kaam aaenge sath le lo
wafa ki KHushbu wafa ka saya kaDe safar mein

riwayaton se gurez kaisa chalo jagaen
nasib soya hua hai apna isi khanDar mein

ghazab ka sud-o-ziyan hai apne mizaj mein ab
bala ki ThanDak utar chakki hai rag-e-sharar mein

kabhi to sara jahan hum ko laga hai apna
kabhi nazar aae ajnabi se KHud apne ghar mein

gal aur titli pe tabsira kya 'nadim' karte
bujhe hoe dil jale makanat the nazar mein
