qasr-e-rangin se guzar bagh-o-gulistan se nikal
hai wafa-pesha tu mat kucha-e-jaanan se nikal

nikhat-e-zulf ye kis ki hai ki jis ke aage
hui khajlat-zada bu sumbul-o-raihan se nikal

go bahaar ab hai wale roz-e-khizan ai bulbul
yak-qalam nargis o gul jawenge bustan se nikal

imtihan karne ko yun dil se kaha hum ne raat
ai dil-e-gham-zada is kakul-e-pechan se nikal

kha ke sau pech kaha main to nikalne ka nahin
magar ai dushman-e-jaan chal tu mere han se nikal

ho pareshani se jis ki mujhe sau jamiyyat
kis tarah jaun main us zulf-e-pareshan se nikal

lakh zindan-e-pur-afat mein hota hai wo qaid
jo koi jata hai is taur ke zindan se nikal

mujh se mumkin nahin mahbub ki qata-e-ulfat
garche main jaunga is aalam-e-imkan se nikal

chah mein mujh ko ye murshid ka hai irshad 'nazir'
aabru chahe to mat chah-e-zanakhdan se nikal
