ek raat mein sau bar jala aur bujha hun
ik raat meñ sau baar jalā aur bujhā huuñ
muflis kā diyā huuñ magar āñdhī se laḌā huuñ
jo kahnā ho kahiye ki abhī jaag rahā huuñ
so.ūñgā to so jā.ūñgā din bhar kā thakā huuñ
qindīl samajh kar koī sar kaaT na le aa.e
tājir huuñ ujāle kā añdhere meñ khaḌā huuñ
sab ek nazar pheñk ke baḌh jaate haiñ aage
maiñ vaqt ke show-case meñ chup-chāp khaḌā huuñ
vo aa.ina huuñ jo kabhī kamre meñ sajā thā
ab gir ke jo TuuTā huuñ to raste meñ paḌā huuñ
duniyā kā koī hādsa ḳhālī nahīñ mujh se
maiñ ḳhaak huuñ maiñ aag huuñ paanī huuñ havā huuñ
mil jā.ūñgā dariyā meñ to ho jā.ūñgā dariyā
sirf is liye qatra huuñ ki dariyā se judā huuñ
har daur ne baḳhshī mujhe me.arāj-e-mohabbat
neze pe chaḌhā huuñ kabhī suulī pe chaḌhā huuñ
duniyā se nirālī hai 'nazīr' apnī kahānī
añgāroñ se bach niklā huuñ phūloñ se jalā huuñ
ek raat mein sau bar jala aur bujha hun
muflis ka diya hun magar aandhi se laDa hun
jo kahna ho kahiye ki abhi jag raha hun
sounga to so jaunga din bhar ka thaka hun
qindil samajh kar koi sar kaT na le aae
tajir hun ujale ka andhere mein khaDa hun
sab ek nazar phenk ke baDh jate hain aage
main waqt ke show-case mein chup-chap khaDa hun
wo aaina hun jo kabhi kamre mein saja tha
ab gir ke jo TuTa hun to raste mein paDa hun
duniya ka koi hadsa KHali nahin mujh se
main KHak hun main aag hun pani hun hawa hun
mil jaunga dariya mein to ho jaunga dariya
sirf is liye qatra hun ki dariya se juda hun
har daur ne baKHshi mujhe mearaj-e-mohabbat
neze pe chaDha hun kabhi suli pe chaDha hun
duniya se nirali hai 'nazir' apni kahani
angaron se bach nikla hun phulon se jala hun
