khul gaya shayad bharam ai dil junun ke raaz ka
badla badla sa nazar aata hai rukh dam-saz ka

gunjti hai ab bhi kanon mein sada-e-bazgasht
tutna dil ka tha ek naghma shikasta-saz ka

mah-o-anjum mein bhi us ka husn jalwa-rez hai
aaftab ek aks hai husn-e-karishma-saz ka

ek pari-khana hai ye shahr-e-hasin lekin yahan
koi chehra bhi nazar aaya na us andaz ka

kis qadar rangin hai tartib-e-kitab-e-zindagi
is mein afsana hai shayad tere husn-o-naz ka

shokhiyan phulon se jab karne lagi baad-e-sahar
barha dhoka hua hai aap ki aawaz ka

apna harf-e-arzu bhi kya qayamat hai 'nazir'
dastan-dar-dastan hai harf harf us raaz ka
