ho kyun na tere kaam mein hairan tamasha
ya-rab teri qudrat mein hai har aan tamasha

le arsh se ta-farsh nae rang nae dhang
har shakl ajaib hai har ek shan tamasha

aflak pe taron ki jhalakti hai tilismat
aur ru-e-zamin par gul-o-raihan tamasha

jinnat pari dew malak hur bhi nadir
insan ajuba hai to haiwan tamasha

jab husn ke jati hai muraqqa pe nazar aah
kya kya nazar aata hai har ek aan tamasha

choti ki gundhawat kahin dikhlati hai lahren
rakhti hai kahin zulf-e-pareshan tamasha

gar ishq ke kuche mein guzar kije to wan bhi
har waqt nai sair hai har aan tamasha

munh zard badan khushk jigar chaak alamnak
ghul shor tapish nala-o-afghan tamasha

hum past nigahon ki nazar mein to 'nazir' aah
sab arz-o-sama ki hai gulistan tamasha
