talash-o-fikr mein nazron ki hairani nahin jati
jo manzil se guzarta hun wo pahchani nahin jati

ajab dastur-e-alam hai ajab insaf-e-duniya hai
salib-o-dar par haq baat bhi mani nahin jati

zamane ki sadaen aap to pahchan lete hain
mere hi dard ki aawaz pahchani nahin jati

mata-e-zindagi lut jaegi malum hai lekin
hawas walon ki hirs-e-daulat-e-fani nahin jati

hue qasr-o-mahal tamir jin ke dam se duniya mein
unhin ki aaj dekho khana-virani nahin jati

zaruri hai koi hal dhundhna tadbir se is ka
pareshani ke kahne se pareshani nahin jati

'nazar' khud-e'timadi ek dalil-e-kaamyabi hai
kabhi khali kisi ki sai-e-imkani nahin jati
