chaliye ki rah mein hain shajar saya-dar bhi
dete hain dad aabla-pai ki khar bhi

nakaamiyon ke ba'd bhi rukte nahin qadam
majburiyon mein rakhte hain hum ikhtiyar bhi

insan thahra shoala-o-shabnam ka ham-mizaj
jannat ki aarzu hai gunahon se pyar bhi

raaton ka silsila ho ki din ki tajalliyan
paband-e-chashm-e-yar hain lail-o-nahaar bhi

rahne do apna hath abhi mere hath mein
darta hun kho na dun kahin dil ka qarar bhi

wade pe us ki kitni khushi hai na puchhiye
aata nahin hai dil ko magar eatibar bhi

kah de zamana kuchh bhi mujhe gham na kar 'nazir'
lagta nahin hai jab ki mujhe nagawar bhi
