naghma-e-kun se numudar ajab hosh hua
dahr mein jis ko sanbhaala wahi behosh hua

khalwat-e-naz mein yun koi ham-aghosh hua
ilm dar sina mere dil se faramosh hua

jaur-e-paiham ne kabhi dil se nikalne na diya
dard badhta hi raha jab wo sitam-kosh hua

ishq mein chahiye har-lahza nirali gardish
kyon wahan katib-e-taqdir subuk-dosh hua

yaad aae unhen kuchh tark-e-jafa ke pahlu
haif-sad-haif ki main dil se faramosh hua

rang ya shakl na tha kya nazar aata wo hamein
dida-e-dil ki jagah zehn mein ru-posh hua

har jagah tur hai be-khud hai jahan misl-e-kalim
jalwa-e-nau se wo hangama faramosh hua

hashr ke baad rahi hasrat-e-nazzara mujhe
is tarah majma-e-khuban mein wo ru-posh hua

kya ho padash-e-amal mast-e-azal hai 'nazish'
ya khuda tu ne pilai to ye mai-nosh hua
