shauq-e-dil fikr-e-dahan mein hai jo rahbar ki tarah
dhundhta hun chashma-e-haiwan sikandar ki tarah

meri aahon ko abas hai na-rasai ka gila
dil mein ghar karna to sikhen yaad-e-dilbar ki tarah

sar se pa tak hai misal-e-gardan-e-taslim kham
kis se hota hai adab qatil ka khanjar ki tarah

tha jo waqt-e-qatl arman-e-ham-aghoshi mujhe
khun ki chhinten lipti hain khanjar se jauhar ki tarah

dard-e-dil uth uth ke dhata hai qayamat jaan par
sham-e-hijr-e-ashiqan hai subh-e-mahshar ki tarah

dil ko aankhon ne sujhai hain jo rahen ishq ki
har jagah mujh ko liye phirta hai rahbar ki tarah

yaad-e-gesu ek bala-e-jaan-sitan hai hijr mein
kate khata hai mera ghar mujh ko azhdar ki tarah

is ko lutf-e-dard us ko lazzat-e-mashq-e-jafa
dil ki aadat bigdi hai khu-e-sitamgar ki tarah

un ki aamad ki khabar sun kar hujum-e-shauq se
kashmakash hai khana-e-dil mein bhare ghar ki tarah

misl-e-diwana phira karta hai kyon ye roz-o-shab
aasman ko bhi hai kya sauda mere sar ki tarah

aap ki ghaflat se sari aarzuen mar gain
dil mera viran hai ujde hue ghar ki tarah

ban ke shabnam lakh tapken chashm-e-akhtar se sarishk
roega kya aasman us dida-e-tar ki tarah

tukde tukde dil jigar hain tez fiqron se huzur
aap ki tegh-e-zaban chalti hai khanjar ki tarah

rah mein dil nichi nazron se hua jata hai zabh
jhuk ke bhi chalta hai wo qatil to khanjar ki tarah

shukr-e-khaliq hai ki be-minnat main hota hun shahid
dil ko yaad-e-abru-e-qatil hai khanjar ki tarah

tauba tauba kya ghazab saqi ki ghaflat ne kiya
sab ki surat dekhta hun rind-e-be-zar ki tarah

hijr-e-saqi mein nazar aaya kahin gar shaghl-e-mai
dabdabae dida-e-tar chashm-e-saghar ki tarah

aarzu-e-wasl-e-qatil itni hai mujh zar ko
hun hama-tan surat-e-aghosh khanjar ki tarah

ai 'nazar' ishq-e-miyan-e-yar ka hai ye asar
jism-e-laghar jo nihan hai jaan ke jauhar ki tarah
