ab dil mein aarzuon ke aasar dekhna
viraniyon mein shahar-e-numudar dekhna

kaun aa gaya charagh ki lau kis ne tez ki
shoale se ho gaya hai kise pyar dekhna

do ashk chashm-e-naz ki duniya badal gae
ek barg-e-gul pe os ki miqdar dekhna

mansur ek giraft mein mansur ho gaya
banda-nawazi-e-rasan-o-dar dekhna

ye kaun jhankta hai dariche se bar-bar
lau de raha hai saya-e-diwar dekhna

daman se dur rah gaya hath aaftab ka
us aane wali subh ki raftar dekhna

aai jo gard-e-rah to daman jhatak diya
aawargan-e-shauq ka kirdar dekhna

tum ko agar na ho koi ehsas-e-kamtari
'nazish' ki chashm-e-shauq ka mear dekhna
