ho gae bichhDe hue un ko zamane kitne

ho gae bichhde hue un ko zamane kitne
dil mein mahfuz abhi tak hain fasane kitne
ek ma'muli si taklif pe kyon chikh uthe
zindagi hai to abhi dukh hain uthane kitne


kar liya 'ahd to phir us ko nibhana sikho
tum banate ho har ek roz bahane kitne
aur hote hain jinhen hoti hai daulat ki talab
hum ne thukra diye duniya ke khazane kitne


yunhi aa jaane se didar nahin ho sakta
ek jhalak pane mein lagte hain zamane kitne
us ke lahje mein takabbur ki ramaq hai ab bhi
roz ginta hai wo tasbih ke dane kitne


sha'iri hum ko wirasat mein mili hai 'nazir'
kah gae git ghazal aur tarane kitne
