khud-ba-khud dida-o-dil mein jo samaya jae
hae us shakhs ko kis tarah bhulaya jae

ek ek zarre ko aaina banaya jae
jalwa-e-husn-e-nazar un ko dikhaya jae

baat jab hai ki na guzre dil-e-nazuk pe giran
shauq se haal-e-shab-e-hijr sunaya jae

mah-o-anjum hain kahin aur kahin lala-o-gul
daman-e-shauq ko kis kis se bachaya jae

kaisi pabandi-e-zindan ki hai fitrat aazad
khun-e-dil se chaman-e-taza banaya jae

shewa-e-zabt ka ai dost taqaza hai yahi
dil ka har raaz khud un se bhi chhupaya jae

un ki mahfil mein agar rasm-e-zaban-bandi hai
qissa-e-shauq nigahon se sunaya jae

saya-e-barq mein ai josh-e-mazaq-e-tamir
aashiyan roz gulistan mein banaya jae

hone pae na kahin zindagi be-kaif 'nazir'
ek hangama-e-khamosh machaya jae
