mera haal mujh se na puchhiye ki main gham se sina-figar hun
jise aasman ne jala diya usi karwan ka ghubar hun

jahan jal raha tha kabhi diya jahan sadqe hoti thi kahkashan
jise koi dekh ke ro pade main wahi to sang-e-mazar hun

ye bahaar aur ye gulsitan meri tishnagi ke harif hain
mujhe bijliyon ki talash hai ki main dil-jalon ki pukar hun

yahi ras aai hai dosti ki fasana ban gai zindagi
tere ek gham ka sila hai ye ki hazar gham se do-chaar hun

meri qabr un ki gali mein ho mera munh nahin hai ye dosto
kahin dal do meri lash ko ki main nang-e-kucha-e-yar hun

main falak ki aankh ka nur hun main kisi ka husn-e-ghurur hun
main fareb-e-ishq ki aabru main mohabbaton ka qarar hun

meri tuti aas bandhae kaun mera dard puchhne aae kaun
jise tu ne dar se utha diya main wahi to 'nazish'-e-zar hun
