wo nahin hai to zindagi kaisi
vo nahīñ hai to zindagī kaisī
is añdhere meñ raushnī kaisī
dil kī barbādiyoñ ke mātam par
zer-e-lab hai tire hañsī kaisī
kaun rah rah ke yaad aatā hai
dil meñ rahtī hai bekalī kaisī
soz-e-dil ne badan jalā Daalā
phir mire ruḳh pe tāzgī kaisī
ham-safar ho ke kārvāñ lauTā
rahbarī meñ ye rahzanī kaisī
mujh ko ehsās-e-āsmāñ na rahā
chhāñv zulfoñ kī thī ghanī kaisī
mujh se barbād-e-ishq par ai dost
mahv-e-hairat huuñ barhamī kaisī
rasm-e-duniyā ajiib hai yaaro
ġham hī ġham hai yahāñ ḳhushī kaisī
dil kī duniyā tabāh kar Daalī
ye sharārat ye dil-lagī kaisī
kis kī nazroñ meñ aa gayā maiñ 'nazīr'
mere sheroñ meñ naġhmagī kaisī
wo nahin hai to zindagi kaisi
is andhere mein raushni kaisi
dil ki barbaadiyon ke matam par
zer-e-lab hai tere hansi kaisi
kaun rah rah ke yaad aata hai
dil mein rahti hai bekali kaisi
soz-e-dil ne badan jala Dala
phir mere ruKH pe tazgi kaisi
ham-safar ho ke karwan lauTa
rahbari mein ye rahzani kaisi
mujh ko ehsas-e-asman na raha
chhanw zulfon ki thi ghani kaisi
mujh se barbaad-e-ishq par ai dost
mahw-e-hairat hun barhami kaisi
rasm-e-duniya ajib hai yaro
gham hi gham hai yahan KHushi kaisi
dil ki duniya tabah kar Dali
ye shararat ye dil-lagi kaisi
kis ki nazron mein aa gaya main 'nazir'
mere sheron mein naghmagi kaisi
