abr aaya hai khumar aaya hai
chehra-e-gul pe nikhaar aaya hai

jab kahin zikr-e-bahaar aaya hai
jhumta baada-gusar aaya hai

sar-ba-kaf aaj ghazal aate hain
kaun yan bahr-e-shikar aaya hai

na mila mahmil-e-laila ka suragh
qais har samt pukar aaya hai

auj par hai dil-e-nadan ka nasib
us pe aaj un ko bhi pyar aaya hai

kah rahe hain wo khuda khair kare
hum pe to hota nisar aaya hai

jab shagufa koi gulshan mein khila
samne jalwa-e-yar aaya hai

luta sabr aur sukun phir 'nazmi'
jab zara dil ko qarar aaya hai
