faza nahin hai abhi saz-gar Thahro zara

fazā nahīñ hai abhī sāz-gār Thahro zarā

maiñ keh rahā huuñ naañ ruk jaao yaar Thahro zarā

ye log lahje kī narmī ko Dar samajhte haiñ

mire halīm mire bā-vaqār Thahro zarā

sarakne vaale haiñ makr-o-fareb ke parde

utarne vaalā hai saarā ḳhumār Thahro zarā

suno na dil karo chhoTā nikalne do sūraj

rafīq-e-man shajar-e-sāya-dār Thahro zarā

abhī to us ne jhaTaknī hai zulf shāne se

'urūj baaqī hai manzar-nigār Thahro zarā

muzākarāt abhī chal rahe haiñ lahroñ se

maiñ sun rahā huuñ tumhārī pukār Thahro zarā

bichhaḌte vaqt mirā haath thaam kar 'nāzir'

vo keh rahā thā mujhe baar baar Thahro zarā

faza nahin hai abhi saz-gar Thahro zara

main keh raha hun nan ruk jao yar Thahro zara

ye log lahje ki narmi ko Dar samajhte hain

mere halim mere ba-waqar Thahro zara

sarakne wale hain makr-o-fareb ke parde

utarne wala hai sara KHumar Thahro zara

suno na dil karo chhoTa nikalne do suraj

rafiq-e-man shajar-e-saya-dar Thahro zara

abhi to us ne jhaTakni hai zulf shane se

'uruj baqi hai manzar-nigar Thahro zara

muzakaraat abhi chal rahe hain lahron se

main sun raha hun tumhaari pukar Thahro zara

bichhaDte waqt mera hath tham kar 'nazir'

wo keh raha tha mujhe bar bar Thahro zara
