hua KHurshid ke dekhe se duna iztirab apna

huā ḳhurshīd ke dekhe se duunā iztirāb apnā

ki ye niklā sahar ko aur na niklā āftāb apnā

tire muñh ke jo har dam rū-ba-rū aane ko kahtā hai

zarā ā.īna le kar muñh to dekhe āftāb apnā

na itnā zulm kar ai chāñdnī bahr-e-ḳhudā chhup jā

tujhe dekhe se yaad aatā hai mujh ko māhtāb apnā

ḳhafā dekhā hai us ko ḳhvāb meñ dil saḳht muztar hai

khilā de dekhiye kyā kyā gul-e-tābīr-e-ḳhvāb apnā

sahar-āsā ayaañ hote hī lī rāh-e-adam ham ne

huā aanā bhī aur jaanā bhī aisā kuchh shitāb apnā

'nazīr' is bahr meñ fursat kam aur aish-o-tarab lākhoñ

to phir ab haq-ba-jānib hai kare kyā kyā hisāb apnā

hua KHurshid ke dekhe se duna iztirab apna

ki ye nikla sahar ko aur na nikla aaftab apna

tere munh ke jo har dam ru-ba-ru aane ko kahta hai

zara aaina le kar munh to dekhe aaftab apna

na itna zulm kar ai chandni bahr-e-KHuda chhup ja

tujhe dekhe se yaad aata hai mujh ko mahtab apna

KHafa dekha hai us ko KHwab mein dil saKHt muztar hai

khila de dekhiye kya kya gul-e-tabir-e-KHwab apna

sahar-asa ayan hote hi li rah-e-adam hum ne

hua aana bhi aur jaana bhi aisa kuchh shitab apna

'nazir' is bahr mein fursat kam aur aish-o-tarab lakhon

to phir ab haq-ba-jaanib hai kare kya kya hisab apna
