Dil Mahw-e-tamasha-e-lab-e-baam Nahin Hai

dil mahw-e-tamasha-e-lab-e-baam nahin hai

paigham ba-andaz-e-paigham nahin hai

ai jaan-e-giran sair tera rahbar-o-rahzan

hai kaun agar waqt-e-subuk-e-gam nahin hai

jo tere dayar-e-ruKH-o-kakul mein na guzre

wo subh nahin hai wo meri sham nahin hai

is pursish-e-haalat ke andaz ke qurban

kis tarah kahun main mujhe aaram nahin hai

kya baat hai ai talKHi-e-azar-e-mohabbat

fihrist-e-shahidan mein mera nam nahin hai

mai-KHane mein aur shorish-e-ayyam dar aae

afsos ki hathon mein mere jam nahin hai

aksar lab-e-shair se jo sunta hai zamana

wo zist ki aawaz hai ilham nahin hai

ai mast-e-mai-shauq sambhaal apne subu ko

duniya hai ye KHum-KHana-e-KHayyam nahin hai

ek turfa tamasha hai 'nazar' teri tabiat

shair bhi hai aur shahr mein badnam nahin hai
