ser-shikami ka bhuk se hai milap
ruh ki tishnagi sambhaaliye aap

raqs-farma hui wo sim-tani
be-zari ki bahaar ne di thap

shahar wale hain kholta lawa
gali-kuchon se uth rahi hai bhap

na-muradi ke badhte silsile ko
nae paimana-e-sitam se nap

is ko namrud ka taqaza jaan
aatish-e-husn ko na baith ke tap

khamushi to ilaj-e-dard nahin
baat banti nahin hai aap se aap

tu bhi kah de jo tere ji mein hai
sun raha hun main har anap-shanap

koi aaya na gosha-e-dil tak
shah-rah par suni thi panw ki chap

yun hi shayad mizaj badle tera
mere ashaar apne nam se chhap

waqt, mausam 'nazar' nigah mein rakh
kis ne tujh se kaha ye rag alap
