dar raha sab pe jo suKHanwar hai

dar rahā sab pe jo suḳhanvar hai

she'r teġh-e-zabāñ kā jauhar hai

baat apnī ye sun ke kaan meñ Daal

aabrū misl-e-āb-e-gauhar hai

'ishq bin kyā kisī kā dil ho guzār

mom be-āg dekhe patthar hai

dil kā denā sarāsarī mat jaan

jaan par khelnā sarāsar hai

kyā muḳhālif hai is chaman kī havā

ḳhaar detā hai jo gul-e-tar hai

nok rakh lo barahna-pā.ī kī

ābād ḳhār-e-dasht nashtar hai

ab to jaate haiñ us gul meñ 'nasīm'

ho rahegā jo kuchh muqaddar hai

dar raha sab pe jo suKHanwar hai

she'r tegh-e-zaban ka jauhar hai

baat apni ye sun ke kan mein Dal

aabru misl-e-ab-e-gauhar hai

'ishq bin kya kisi ka dil ho guzar

mom be-ag dekhe patthar hai

dil ka dena sarasari mat jaan

jaan par khelna sarasar hai

kya muKHalif hai is chaman ki hawa

KHar deta hai jo gul-e-tar hai

nok rakh lo barahna-pai ki

aabaad KHar-e-dasht nashtar hai

ab to jate hain us gul mein 'nasim'

ho rahega jo kuchh muqaddar hai
