teri mohabbaton ka talabgar main bhi hun
isar ka wafa ka parastar main bhi hun

marub main nahin teri unchi udan se
mauj-e-hawa se barsar-e-paikar main bhi hun

hirs-o-hawas ka daur hai majbur hain awam
rishwat adaegi ka gunahgar main bhi hun

dariya-dili ka teri ishaara mila to hai
lekin rahe khayal ki khuddar main bhi hun

main kyon kisi ki zat pe kichad uchhaal dun
ye jaanta hun sahab-e-dastar main bhi hun

har ek nigah-e-khas ne samjha mujhe aziz
han mohtaram badaulat-e-kirdar main bhi hun

hai ek bikau jins-e-siyasat mein ab zamir
tum bhi lagao dam kharidar main bhi hun

khote khare ka farq samajhta hun main huzur
is daur ke mizaj ka fankar main bhi hun

kam-zarf ne kalaf ka pahan kar libas kyon
dawa kiya ki raunaq-e-bazar main bhi hun

'nayyar' talluqat hain aari khulus se
ahbab ke suluk se bezar main bhi hun
