roz khwabon mein nae rang bhara karta tha
kaun tha jo meri aankhon mein raha karta tha

ungliyan kat ke wo apne lahu se aksar
phul patton pe mera nam likha karta tha

kaisa qatil tha jo hathon mein liye tha khanjar
chupke chupke mere jine ki dua karta tha

hae qismat ki yahi chhod ke jaane wala
umr bhar sath nibahenge kaha karta tha

phul sa jism sulagte hue sandal ki tarah
dil ke mandir mein sar-e-sham jala karta tha

wo jo ek lamha kisi yaad mein katta tha 'nazir'
dil ke jalte hue shoalon ko hawa karta tha
