rah-e-talab mein na kar is tarah kharab mujhe
thaharne de kahin ai chashm-e-intikhab mujhe

bula raha hai kahin ishq su-e-dar-o-rasan
pukarta hai kahin husn-e-be-naqab mujhe

main ek zarra-e-nachiz hi sahi lekin
nigah wale samajhte hain aaftab mujhe

bas ek jurm-e-mohabbat pe us sitamgar ne
diye hain sham-o-sahar saikdon azab mujhe

luti luti si shab-e-gham hai chandni 'nayyar'
bujha bujha nazar aata hai mahtab mujhe
