zikr-e-mazi se shab-o-roz satate hain mujhe

zikr-e-māzī se shab-o-roz satāte haiñ mujhe

mere ahbāb hī dīvāna banāte haiñ mujhe

maiñ to ik jumla-e-bā-ma.anī-o-bā-matlab huuñ

aur vo harf-e-ġhalat kah ke miTāte haiñ mujhe

ek be-rabt ta.alluq kā sahārā le kar

log kyā ishq ke andāz sikhāte haiñ mujhe

jo the apne hī ḳhad-o-ḳhāl se ġhāfil kal tak

aaj vo log bhī ā.īna dikhāte haiñ mujhe

kuchh tabī.at hī baġhāvat kī taraf maa.il hai

varna maiḳhāne ke ādāb to aate haiñ mujhe

kuchh ta.alluq koī nisbat nahīñ lekin phir bhī

ai 'naresh' aaj sunā hai ki banāte haiñ mujhe

zikr-e-mazi se shab-o-roz satate hain mujhe

mere ahbab hi diwana banate hain mujhe

main to ek jumla-e-ba-mani-o-ba-matlab hun

aur wo harf-e-ghalat kah ke miTate hain mujhe

ek be-rabt talluq ka sahaara le kar

log kya ishq ke andaz sikhate hain mujhe

jo the apne hi KHad-o-KHal se ghafil kal tak

aaj wo log bhi aaina dikhate hain mujhe

kuchh tabiat hi baghawat ki taraf mail hai

warna maiKHane ke aadab to aate hain mujhe

kuchh talluq koi nisbat nahin lekin phir bhi

ai 'naresh' aaj suna hai ki banate hain mujhe
