hasin kaun hai husn-e-dawam kis ka hai
zawal jis ko nahin hai wo nam kis ka hai

ye mai-kada ye surahi ye jam kis ka hai
bara-e-baada-kashan ehtimam kis ka hai

shab-e-firaq munawwar hai kis ke wadon se
dilon mein aas ki surat qiyam kis ka hai

nahin hai koi agar subh ke pas-e-parda
to intizar hamein waqt-e-sham kis ka hai

azal se hai jo dil-e-kaenat ki dhadkan
hayat-bakhsh musalsal payam kis ka hai

jahan se zist ki ranaiyan nahin jatin
hayat puchh rahi hai nizam kis ka hai

hai kis ki zulf-e-moambar ki bas phulon mein
khizan-badosh bahaaron ka dam kis ka hai

kiye hain kis ko jabin-e-niyaz ne sajde
ye ehtiram ai bait-ul-haram kis ka hai

'nazir' apne khuda ki shanakht rakhta hai
shuur kyon na ho itna ghulam kis ka hai
