bhare rahte hain ashk aankhon mein har dam — Nadir Shahjahanpuri

tu hi vo phuul hai jo hai mahbub
patte patte kaa Daali Daali kaa

nang hai raaz-e-mohabbat kaa numaayaan honaa
mar bhi jaaun main agar tum na pareshaan honaa

rahmat-e-haq ko na kar maayus apne feal se
vo bhalaai mein nahin jo hai buraai mein mazaa

ham dil fidaa karein ki tasadduq-e-jigar karein
jo bhi kahein huzur vahi umr bhar karein

matlab kaa zamaana hai 'naadir' koi kyaa degaa
mujh sokhta-e-qismat ko degaa to khudaa degaa

phuul khulte hi titli bhi aai
kyaa koi dosti puraani hai

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

kahun kis se main ki kyaa hai shab-e-gham buri balaa hai
mujhe kyaa buraa thaa marnaa agar ek baar hotaa

jo khushaamad kare khalq us se sadaa raazi hai
sach to ye hai ki khushaamad se khudaa raazi hai

letaa huun maktab-e-gham-e-dil mein sabaq hanuz
lekin yahi ki raft gayaa aur buud thaa
