kasak thi dil mein abhi iztirab aisa tha
hamare pas tha koi ki khwab aisa tha

mere junun ko fazilat-maab tum ne kiya
jahan-e-ishq mein kis ka khitab aisa tha

laga ki aankh hi pathra gai hai nargis ki
hamare sath jo roya sahab aisa tha

nazar mein koi samundar kabhi samaya nahin
magar wajud hamara habab aisa tha

rahen nigah mein mubham haqiqaten sab ki
har ek chehre pe dohra naqab aisa tha

pareshan karti hai rah rah ke ab bhi wo khushbu
wafa-shiar wo rashk-e-gulab aisa tha

kitab dar-o-rasan tak hi padh sake aksar
kamal-e-ishq ka mushkil nisab aisa tha

zamana guzra magar ab bhi hai wo dard-e-jigar
azal se dil ka mere intikhab aisa tha

zamana aaj bhi izzat se nam leta hai
'nazir' aap ka khana-kharab aisa tha
