is latafat se nawa-pardaz hona chahiye
soz ke parde mein pinhan saz hona chahiye

yun takhayyul ko falak-parwaz hona chahiye
baryab-e-jalwa-gah-e-naz hona chahiye

chha raha hai bazm-e-alam par sukut-e-narawa
ek ishaara ai nigah-e-naz hona chahiye

is tarah kahiye fasana rabt-e-husn-o-ishq ka
har-nafas sarmaya-dar-e-raaz hona chahiye

aaj aata hai zaban par qissa-e-mehr-o-wafa
ahl-e-dil ko gosh-bar-awaz hona chahiye

husn-e-kafir-saz hai ghaarat-gar-e-duniya-o-din
ishq-e-haq-agah ko dam-saz hona chahiye

laeq-e-sad-naz hai 'nayyar' niyaz-e-ashiqi
apni qismat par mujhe bhi naz hona chahiye
