aarzu kab hai teri anjuman-arai ki
dosti ras mujhe aai hai tanhai ki

kaun hai badh ke bujhae jo sulagte ghar ko
aankh rakhti hai ye duniya to tamashai ki

sunne wala nahin mazlum ke dil ki chikhen
gunj hai aaj tere shahr mein shahnai ki

rang is gulshan-e-alam ka yahan tak badla
ud gai bu-e-wafa bhai se ab bhai ki

rabt-e-ulfat na badha had se ziyaada nadan
aage naubat kahin aa jae na ruswai ki

fan ka khud aaina fankar hua karta hai
kya zarurat hai taaruf ki shanasai ki

khud ko dana bhi samajhna hai 'nazar' nadani
aajizi asl mein pahchan hai danai ki
