ghadi ghadi na mujhe puchh ek taza sawal
udas raat ke sine pe aur bojh na dal

khile hain phul sukhan ke jali hai sham-e-khayal
qafas mein jhank ke dekho qafas-zadon ka kamal

usi ke zikr se hum shahr mein hue bad-nam
wo ek shakhs ki jis se hamari bol na chaal

tere wajud pe chha kar teri nazar se gire
hamin ne raj kiya tha hamin hue kangal

bichhad gaya na wo aakhir adhuri baat liye
main us se kahta raha roz roz baat na tal

sitamgari ki nai rasm dhund li us ne
hamare samne deta hai dusron ki misal

kabhi jo baith gae ja ke do ghadi us pas
'nazar'-ji! dhul gaya barson ka ji se huzn-o-malal
