nazar aasuda-kaam-e-raushni hai
mere aage sarab-e-agahi hai

zamanon ko mila hai soz-e-izhaar
wo saat jab khamoshi bol uthi hai

hansi si ek lab-e-zauq-e-nazar par
shafaq-zar-e-tahayyur ban gai hai

zamane sabz o surkh o zard guzre
zamin lekin wahi khakistari hai

pighalta ja raha hai sara manzar
nazar tahlil hoti ja rahi hai

dhundlakon ko andhere chat lenge
ki aage ahd-e-marg-e-raushni hai

bikharte karwan ye irtiqa ke
sarasima sa zauq-e-zindagi hai

main dekhun to dikha dunga tumhein 'saz'
abhi mujh mein basirat ki kami hai
