abr ki ot se chhalka hai udhar dhup ka rang
hai sukun-bakhsh bahut waqt-e-sahar dhup ka rang

wadiyan jhilen hon parbat hon ki hon dasht-o-daman
kitne lagte hain hasin chamke agar dhup ka rang

anjuman shab ki uthi nur-e-sahar aate hi
odhne lag gae gulshan mein shajar dhup ka rang

shab ki tariki mein soe the jo thak kar tair
taza-dam ho gae jab aaya nazar dhup ka rang

waqt zindan ke andheron mein guzara jis ne
us ke hujre mein kare kash guzar dhup ka rang

'nazli' pahn liya dharti ne zardoz libas
jab ufuq se hua firdaus-e-nazar dhup ka rang
