raunaq-e-kashana-e-dil be-ruKHi ne chhin li

raunaq-e-kashana-e-dil be-rukhi ne chhin li
zindagi zinda-dili afsurdagi ne chhin li
raat-din rahta hun main shana-kash-e-zulf-e-sukhan
fikr-e-duniya fikr-e-‘uqba sha'iri ne chhin li


apni peshani pe jab qashqa lagaya shaikh ne
sab musalmani buton ki bandagi ne chhin li
sadgi bachpan ki thi ek tohfa-e-fitrat magar
sadgi 'umr-e-rawan ki pukhtagi ne chhin li


daulat-o-iqbaal ka ab ho gaya suraj ghurub
jo chamak thi zindagi mein tirgi ne chhin li
dekhta hai kaun 'nazir' aaj me’yar-e-ghazal
khubi-e-fan bhi gale ki naghmagi ne chhin li
