pata hun lal taish mein jaan-e-haya ko main
kaise zaban pe laun abhi mudda'a ko main

mushkil ghadi hai le len 'aqaed ka imtihan
tum hath-paon maro pukarun khuda ko main

ek bar ki khata ho to laghzish bhi man lun
har bar ho to kya kahun aisi khata ko main

karta raha phir aaj ki shab bhi usi tarah
jugnu ka intizar bujha kar diya ko main

aisa kabhi gunah na kar baithun ai khuda
munh bhi dikha sakun na phir ahl-e-wafa ko main

jo rakh bhi kured ke sho'le nikal le
pahchanta hun 'nazr' ek aisi hawa ko main
