apne bare mein jab bhi socha hai
us ka chehra nazar mein ubhra hai

tajrabon ne yahi bataya hai
aadmi shohraton ka bhuka hai

dekhiye to hai karwan warna
har musafir safar mein tanha hai

us ke bare mein sochne walo
dekh lo ab ye haal apna hai

kaun bandish lagae khushbu ki
ishq fitrat ka ek taqaza hai

yaad aai hai jaane kis kis ki
lab pe jab zikr us ka aaya hai

fikr ki talkhiyon mein gum ho kar
aadmi be-sabab bhi hansta hai

aarzumand koi ho to kahun
mere dil mein bhi ek tamanna hai

mere chehre pe jo likha hai 'nazar'
ghaur se kis ne us ki samjha hai
