hai dard mein dubi hui tahrir ki aawaz
wijdan ko chhu leti hai taswir ki aawaz

tanhai mein aankhon se nikal aate hain aansu
goya hai faza mein kisi dil-gir ki aawaz

diwana-e-hasti ke liye ek hain donon
pazeb ki jhankar ki shamshir ki aawaz

yaad aaya hai jab saneha zindan-e-bala ka
ubhri dar-o-diwar se zanjir ki aawaz

lag jati hai jab rah-e-pur-asrar mein thokar
hum us ko samajh lete hain taqdir ki aawaz

takhrib-pasandon ne wo tufan uthaya
is shor mein kho jae na tamir ki aawaz

naghmon ka asar hota hai arbab-e-tarab par
'nazir' ko rula deti hai zanjir ki aawaz
