ek shaKHs bhari-bazm mein tanha nazar aaya
ik shaḳhs bharī-bazm meñ tanhā nazar aayā
apnā to nahīñ thā magar apnā nazar aayā
ham tishna-laboñ ne kabhī jā kar lab-e-dariyā
dariyā ko bhī dekhā hai to pyāsā nazar aayā
shabnam-zada phūloñ ke sivā sehn-e-chaman meñ
ai ābla-pāyān-e-junūñ kyā nazar aayā
ai ghūmtī-phirtī huī lāsho ye batāo
insāñ koī is shahr meñ zinda nazar aayā
dekhā ki vahī sūrat-e-dīvār hai 'nashtar'
jis ko kisī dīvār kā saayā nazar aayā
ek shaKHs bhari-bazm mein tanha nazar aaya
apna to nahin tha magar apna nazar aaya
hum tishna-labon ne kabhi ja kar lab-e-dariya
dariya ko bhi dekha hai to pyasa nazar aaya
shabnam-zada phulon ke siwa sehn-e-chaman mein
ai aabla-payan-e-junun kya nazar aaya
ai ghumti-phirti hui lasho ye batao
insan koi is shahr mein zinda nazar aaya
dekha ki wahi surat-e-diwar hai 'nashtar'
jis ko kisi diwar ka saya nazar aaya
