fikr-o-nazar ke bab jahan mustarad hue
jahl-o-junun ke khwab jahan mustanad hue

ek sail-e-be-aman hai mere gham ka karwan
kya kya hasin log sipurd-e-lahad hue

diwangi kabhi mera maslak nahin rahi
gum aa ke teri bazm mein hosh-o-khirad hue

aansu ka mere rang tab-o-tab wo kahan
daman mein yun to aap ke gulha-e-sad hue

duniya samajh rahi thi ki bad-kar hain magar
badnam pahle hum hue phir ja ke bad hue

main bahr-e-be-karan si mohabbat ka hun amin
aansu tumhaari chah mein meri sanad hue

ghairon ko tham kar na hamein be-maqam kar
hum har khushi se tere liye na-balad hue

ilham nazm karte rahe hain 'nawed' hum
shair the ahl-e-zar to na the mustarad hue
