samajh rahe the ki ab shab gai sahar aai
tere dayar mein wo raushni nazar aai

nishat-o-gham ka talluq bhi kya talluq hai
abhi hanse bhi na the hum ki aankh bhar aai

mana rahe hain manana tha jin ko jashn-e-bahaar
mere nasib mein tazin-e-baam-o-dar aai

ye aur baat ki sab kuchh kaha ho sach tu ne
mujhe hansi to teri baat baat par aai

kamal hai ye tasawwur ki mashq-e-paiham ka
tere hijab ki taswir bhi utar aai

wasuq-e-azm pe hain kaamraniyan mauquf
khayal-e-rahguzar aate hi rahguzar aai

bala se ahd-e-bahaaran ne dil ko zakhm diye
'nasir' surat-e-gulzar to nikhar aai
