sahar hum ne chaman-andar ajab dekha kal ek dilbar
sahi qamat pari-paikar muqatta-waza khush-manzar

sukhan-bar ghuncha-lab gul-ru jabin-e-mahar aur kaman-abru
do chashm-e-shokh pur-jadu nigah tir aur mizha nashtar

shamim-e-zulf mushk-e-afshan taghaful sau sitam-saman
ghurur aur naz-e-be-payan mizaj aur taba nazuk-tar

adaen sab fusun-ain na chhoden dil na chhoden din
fareb-o-ishwa sulh-agin itab-o-ghamza jang-awar

ye dekha hum ne jab aalam to rakh dil hath par hamdam
kaha hain nazr karte hum jo le lije to hai behtar

kaha le ja tu apna dil ki tu kya aur tera dil
na lewen hum to aisa dil kaha jab hum ne yun hans kar

yahi ek dil hai bechaara bhala hai ya ki nakara
agarche hai ye aawara wa lekin hai wafa-parwar

jo na-manzur karte ho to kar do ye kab uthta hai
hai jab tak dam mein dam us ke rahega ye usi dar par

'nazir' us ne suna ye jab to bola yun wo shirin-lab
hamara ho chuka ye ab bas is qisse ko kotah kar
