zulf chhutti tere rukh par to dil apna phirta
ghar ko be-sham nahin subh ka bhula phirta

dekhne ko jo mera tu na tamasha phirta
to main jun shoala-e-jawwala na chalta-phirta

kab jafaon se teri dil hai hamara phirta
shak agar tujh ko hai zalim to dobara phirta

bakht-e-bargashta-e-majnun abhi sidhe ho jaen
dasht mein aae agar naqa-e-laila phirta

gardish-e-charkh se sar kyun na mah-o-khur ka phire
ki shab o roz ye rahta hai hindola phirta

jins-e-dil ka teri us zulf se phirna malum
ho ke khat-kash jo bike wo nahin sauda phirta

khal-e-rukhsar-e-butan ka nahin bharta ye khayal
kishwar-e-dil mein hamare hai kanhayya phirta

dil ki qismat mein azal se thi likhi tishna-labi
kyun na us chah-e-zaqan se ye piyasa phirta

sharm se daman-e-sahil mein chhupi hai har mauj
tu jo athkheliyon se hai lab-e-dariya phirta

dard-e-dil ishq ki chausar mein na katti hargiz
gar kabhi jit ka apni koi pasa phirta

aaj piri mein bhi apne na phire bakht-e-siyah
ki darakhton ka bhi din dhalte hi saya phirta

tut jati jo kabhi aas tere milne ki
to na lattu ki tarah dil ye hamara phirta

bais-e-jumbish-e-insan hai to ai tar-e-nafas
warna ye baith ke uthta na ye chalta-phirta

sair-e-sahra-e-junun-khez ka arman na raha
tere hathon se main kya aabla-e-pa phirta

tu ne har kaam pe ki chasm-numai warna
main bagule ki tarah khak udata phirta

apne girye ki dikhata main tujhe tughyani
gar shab-e-wasl mere pas na tu aa phirta

anjum-e-charkh bhi ban jate hain manind-e-habab
mah ka surat-e-girdab hai baala phirta

likh 'nasir' ek ghazal aur badal kar ke radif
tausan-e-khama hai ab dekh to kaisa phirta
