kal jo rukh-e-araq-fishan yar ne tuk dikha diya
pani chhidak ke khwab se fitne ko phir jaga diya

us ke sharar-e-husn ne shoala jo ek dikha diya
tur ko sar se panw tak phunk diya jala diya

phir ke nigah chaar-su thahri usi ke ru-ba-ru
us ne to meri chashm ko qibla-numa bana diya

mera aur us ka ikhtilat ho gaya misl-e-abr-o-barq
us ne mujhe rula diya main ne use hansa diya

main hun patang kaghzi dor hai us ke hath mein
chaha idhar ghata diya chaha udhar badha diya

teshe ki kya majal thi ye jo tarashe be-sutun
tha wo tamam dil ka zor jis ne pahad dha diya

guzre jo su-e-khanqah wan bhi ba-shakl-e-jaanmaz
ahl-e-salah-o-zuhd ko farsh kiya bichha diya

nikle jo rah-e-dair se ek hi nigah-e-mast mein
gabr ka sabr kho diya but ko bhi but bana diya

shikwa hamara hai baja muft-baron se kis liye
hum ne to apna dil diya hum ko kisi ne kya diya

sun ke hamare haal ka yar ne ek sukhan 'nazir'
hans ke kaha ki bas ji bas tum ne to sar phira diya
