kuchh dur sath gardish-e-sham-o-sahar gai

kuchh duur saath gardish-e-shām-o-sahar ga.ī

phir us ke ba.ad zindagī jaane kidhar ga.ī

apnoñ kī bevafā.ī baḌā kaam kar ga.ī

is aag meñ hayāt tapī aur nikhar ga.ī

bedārī-e-bahār-e-nazar hī kī der thī

phir jo bhī chiiz sāmne aa.ī sañvar ga.ī

ab kostā huuñ puḳhtagī-e-tajrabāt ko

jo mujh ko har aziiz se begāna kar ga.ī

allāh re junūn-e-tajassus ke marhale

merī nigāh tujh pe bhī ho kar guzar ga.ī

us par nazar uThā ke maiñ 'nāzish' jo ruk gayā

mahsūs ho rahā hai ki duniyā Thahar ga.ī

kuchh dur sath gardish-e-sham-o-sahar gai

phir us ke baad zindagi jaane kidhar gai

apnon ki bewafai baDa kaam kar gai

is aag mein hayat tapi aur nikhar gai

bedari-e-bahaar-e-nazar hi ki der thi

phir jo bhi chiz samne aai sanwar gai

ab kosta hun puKHtagi-e-tajrabaat ko

jo mujh ko har aziz se begana kar gai

allah re junun-e-tajassus ke marhale

meri nigah tujh pe bhi ho kar guzar gai

us par nazar uTha ke main 'nazish' jo ruk gaya

mahsus ho raha hai ki duniya Thahar gai
