wo jis ki sara jahan puKHtagi se haar gaya
vo jis kī saarā jahāñ puḳhtagī se haar gayā
vo ek koh-e-girāñ aadmī se haar gayā
vahī jo raat pe chhāyā huā añdherā thā
sahar huī hai to vo raushnī se haar gayā
nahīñ hai koī sabab sab se us ke kaTne kā
ġharīb aadmī thā muflisī se haar gayā
har ik mahāz pe dushman ko jis se maat huī
vo apne dostoñ kī dostī se haar gayā
bahut aziiz thī us ko bhī apnī jaan magar
hisār-e-jabr meñ vo bebasī se haar gayā
dar-asl us ke muqaddar meñ haar likkhī thī
vo us se jañg meñ bad-qismatī se haar gayā
hamesha ye hī to hotā rahā hai mere aziiz
kisī kī jiit to koī kisī se haar gayā
nahīñ thā us ke barābar kā ahl-e-zar bhī koī
magar ġharīb kī dariyā-dilī se haar gayā
ye kyā maqām hai insāñ kī zindagī meñ 'nazīr'
nibhā.ī maut se aur zindagī se haar gayā
wo jis ki sara jahan puKHtagi se haar gaya
wo ek koh-e-giran aadmi se haar gaya
wahi jo raat pe chhaya hua andhera tha
sahar hui hai to wo raushni se haar gaya
nahin hai koi sabab sab se us ke kaTne ka
gharib aadmi tha muflisi se haar gaya
har ek mahaz pe dushman ko jis se mat hui
wo apne doston ki dosti se haar gaya
bahut aziz thi us ko bhi apni jaan magar
hisar-e-jabr mein wo bebasi se haar gaya
dar-asl us ke muqaddar mein haar likkhi thi
wo us se jang mein bad-qismati se haar gaya
hamesha ye hi to hota raha hai mere aziz
kisi ki jit to koi kisi se haar gaya
nahin tha us ke barabar ka ahl-e-zar bhi koi
magar gharib ki dariya-dili se haar gaya
ye kya maqam hai insan ki zindagi mein 'nazir'
nibhai maut se aur zindagi se haar gaya
