dil pe jaur-o-sitam garan na hue
dil pe jaur-o-sitam garāñ na hue
kaise kah duuñ vo mehrbāñ na hue
haa.e yādoñ ke vo nuqūsh-e-hasīñ
miT ga.e aur be-nishāñ na hue
dekhne vaale sūrat-e-shabnam
sūrat-e-bahr-e-be-karāñ na hue
sochtā huuñ vo ashk kyā hoñge
jo abhī zeb-e-dāstāñ na hue
ġham to ye hai ki gulsitāñ meñ sab
phuul kāñToñ ke darmiyāñ na hue
mere sheroñ se zindagī ke raaz
kuchh hue kuchh abhī ayaañ na hue
log kuchh bhī kaheñ magar ham log
rā.egāñ ho ke rā.egāñ na hue
hausla dekh umr-bhar ham log
zindagī tujh se bad-gumāñ na hue
sāneha hai ki un kī mahfil meñ
aaj 'nashtar' hī naġhma-ḳhvāñ na hue
dil pe jaur-o-sitam garan na hue
kaise kah dun wo mehrban na hue
hae yaadon ke wo nuqush-e-hasin
miT gae aur be-nishan na hue
dekhne wale surat-e-shabnam
surat-e-bahr-e-be-karan na hue
sochta hun wo ashk kya honge
jo abhi zeb-e-dastan na hue
gham to ye hai ki gulsitan mein sab
phul kanTon ke darmiyan na hue
mere sheron se zindagi ke raaz
kuchh hue kuchh abhi ayan na hue
log kuchh bhi kahen magar hum log
raegan ho ke raegan na hue
hausla dekh umr-bhar hum log
zindagi tujh se bad-guman na hue
saneha hai ki un ki mahfil mein
aaj 'nashtar' hi naghma-KHwan na hue
