kuchh is ada se wo mere dil-o-nazar mein raha
ba-qaid-e-hosh bhi main aalam-e-digar mein raha

khud apni zat pe mujh ko bhi ikhtiyar na tha
tamam-umr main ek halqa-e-asar mein raha

wo ishq jis ki zamane ko bhi khabar na rahi
tere bichhadne se ruswa nagar nagar mein raha

rah-e-hayat mein teri rifaqaten na sahi
tera khayal to har-dam mujhe safar mein raha

gham-e-zamana ne kis ko mafar hai ai 'nadir'
sukun-e-qalb kahan ab kisi hunar mein raha
