hijr mein nashad duniya se dil-e-muztar gaya
aaj apne sath ka ek marne wala mar gaya

sunne wale khub roe mere haal-e-zar par
yun hi apni umr ka paimana aakhir bhar gaya

bazu-e-qatil thakae sakht-jaani ne meri
barha is hath se us hath mein khanjar gaya

hum wahi gulshan wahi mahfil wahi saman wahi
ek saqi kya gaya lutf-e-mai-o-saghar gaya

ho gai ghairon ko bhi nakaam marne ki hawas
main kisi par jaan de kar kaam apna kar gaya

ruh-parwar hai nigah-e-naz qatil ka asar
jis ko dekha ji utha jis ko na dekha mar gaya

main kabhi roya to wo bole duboya nam-e-ishq
aur agar aansu pi liye to dil mein dariya bhar gaya

aisi hi ghaflat rahi gar mere haal-e-zar par
ek din ahbab sun lenge 'nazar' bhi mar gaya
