zahid ko apne zohd pe kis darja naz hai

zahid ko apne zohd pe kis darja naz hai
us ne suna nahin ki khuda be-niyaz hai
tum shama-ru ho main to mujassam hun ek shama
rag rag mein meri haalat-e-soz-o-gudaz hai


ai chaara-saz pahle nikal us ko khinch kar
ek tir sine mein nafas-e-jaan-gudaz hai
khidmat ko meri aaj bhi hazir hai aasman
wo is ko kya kare ki mujhe ehtiraaz hai


zahid mai-e-tahur bhi aakhir sharab hai
mujh ko to mana karta hai tu kab majaz hai
pahle gunahgar hi pahunche bahisht mein
wo to bada karim bada be-niyaz hai


lillah ai hujum-e-tamanna zara thahar
ye waqt-e-rukhsat-e-nafas-e-jaan-gudaz hai
roz-e-qayamat aaj to waiz dhara nahin
ek umr chahiye use muddat daraaz hai


ghurbat mein mujh se puchhti hai meri bekasi
yan ai gharib kaun tera chaara-saz hai
ai ham-rahan badhae hue ab qadam chalo
din mukhtasar hai aur masafat daraaz hai


sota bana hai naz se koi shab-e-visal
han waqai ye khwab hai ye khwab-e-naz hai
ai dil na kar har ek se tu shikwa-e-raqib
kambakht is mein tera hi ifsha-e-raaz hai


aakhir masih ne bhi liya apna hath khinch
parwardigar tu hi bas ab chaara-saz hai
tum aur tum se mel kare koi pak-baz
achchhi kahi ki ghair bada pak-baz hai


tarz-e-sitam kuchh aur ab ijad kijiye
tirchhi nazar to ek pasandida naz hai
'nadir' nikal gaya hai agar koi sher-e-garm
sine ka soz hai mere dil ka gudaz hai
