abr hun dhup hun sahra hun samundar hun main
mukhtalif rup hain mere ki sukhanwar hun main

dhup niklegi to un ka bhi bharam tutega
jin ki nazron mein abhi mom ka paikar hun main

kisi daman ke muqaddar ko jagane ke liye
waqt ki palkon pe thahra hua gauhar hun main

tu jo chhu le to khadd-o-khal numayan ho jaen
warna dhundlaya hua khwab sa manzar hun main

dekhna jab kisi meamar ke hath aaunga
aaj diwar se ukhda hua patthar hun main

khud-shanason ne abhi mujh ko khangala hi nahin
warna har rang-e-talatum ka shanawar hun main

jis pe tahrir bhi taqrir bhi nazan hai 'nazir'
aisa shahbaz-e-qalam aisa sukhanwar hun main
