junun talim kuchh farma raha hai
khirad ka sath chhuta ja raha hai

badhi jati hai sham-e-bazm ki lau
koi parwana shayad aa raha hai

fana ka pesh-rau is ko samajhiye
jo lamha zindagi ka ja raha hai

ilahi sharam rakhna raaz-e-dil ki
kisi ka nam lab par aa raha hai

teri raushan-jabin ka hai wo aalam
charagh-e-mah bhi sharma raha hai

nigah ne shakl tak dekhi nahin hai
pas-e-parda koi tadpa raha hai

'nihaal' aankhen utha bahr-nazara
koi su-e-gulistan aa raha hai
