tamam umr jale aur raushni nahin ki
tamām umr jale aur raushnī nahīñ kī
ye zindagī hai to phir ham ne zindagī nahīñ kī
sitam to ye hai ki mere ḳhilāf bolte haiñ
vo log jin se kabhī maiñ ne baat bhī nahīñ kī
jo dil meñ aatā gayā sidq-e-dil se likhtā gayā
duā.eñ māñgī haiñ maiñ ne to shā.erī nahīñ kī
bas itnā hai ki mirā baḳht Dhal gayā aur phir
mire charāġh ne bhī mujh pe raushnī nahīñ kī
mirī sipāh se duniyā larazne lagtī hai
magar tumhārī to maiñ ne barābarī nahīñ kī
kuchh is liye bhī akelā sā ho gayā huuñ 'nadīm'
sabhī ko dost banāyā hai dushmanī nahīñ kī
tamam umr jale aur raushni nahin ki
ye zindagi hai to phir hum ne zindagi nahin ki
sitam to ye hai ki mere KHilaf bolte hain
wo log jin se kabhi main ne baat bhi nahin ki
jo dil mein aata gaya sidq-e-dil se likhta gaya
duaen mangi hain main ne to shaeri nahin ki
bas itna hai ki mera baKHt Dhal gaya aur phir
mere charagh ne bhi mujh pe raushni nahin ki
meri sipah se duniya larazne lagti hai
magar tumhaari to main ne barabari nahin ki
kuchh is liye bhi akela sa ho gaya hun 'nadim'
sabhi ko dost banaya hai dushmani nahin ki
