bahaar-e-subh ne gul ko rula ke chhod diya
sharab-e-nab ko shabnam bana ke chhod diya

koi batae ki is nakhuda ko kya kahiye
safina jis ne bhanwar mein phansa ke chhod diya

wo sakht-jaan hun ki jab kaamyab ho na saki
teri jafa ne mujhe aazma ke chhod diya

teri nazar ki bahaar-afriniyon ke nisar
ki zakhm-e-dil ko gul-e-tar bana ke chhod diya

sitam hai teri jafa-e-wafa-numa ki mujhe
jafa-o-jaur ka khugar bana ke chhod diya

wahi hai zamzama-paira dilon mein ai 'nayyar'
jise nasib ne shair bana ke chhod diya
