wo nahin hai to zindagi kaisi
is andhere mein raushni kaisi

dil ki barbaadiyon ke matam par
zer-e-lab hai tere hansi kaisi

kaun rah rah ke yaad aata hai
dil mein rahti hai bekali kaisi

soz-e-dil ne badan jala dala
phir mere rukh pe tazgi kaisi

ham-safar ho ke karwan lauta
rahbari mein ye rahzani kaisi

mujh ko ehsas-e-asman na raha
chhanw zulfon ki thi ghani kaisi

mujh se barbaad-e-ishq par ai dost
mahw-e-hairat hun barhami kaisi

rasm-e-duniya ajib hai yaro
gham hi gham hai yahan khushi kaisi

dil ki duniya tabah kar dali
ye shararat ye dil-lagi kaisi

kis ki nazron mein aa gaya main 'nazir'
mere sheron mein naghmagi kaisi
