meri aah-e-jigar se kyun na howe ab asar paida

mirī āh-e-jigar se kyuuñ na hove ab asar paidā

vahīñ to sher rahtā hai jahāñ hotā hai sar paidā

tamannā ishq kī rakhnā ġhalat-fahmī hai piirī meñ

kahīñ afsurda ḳhākistar se hotā hai sharar paidā

rag-e-jāñ ke ta.iiñ majnūñ kī kyā fassād pahchāne

mizha se chashm-e-lailā ke hai is ko neshtar paidā

ta.ayyun se nikal is beza-e-aflāk ke ai dil

tahayya arsh par uḌne kā hai kar bāl-o-par paidā

ḳhudā-hāfiz hai bahr-e-ishq meñ is dil kī kashtī kā

ki hai chīn-e-jabīn-e-yār se mauj-e-digar paidā

gadā ko kyuuñ na sayyāhī kī lazzat ho ki hotā hai

nayā daana nayā paanī nayā ik aur ghar paidā

yahāñ tak ḳhaak kā rutba hai is aalam meñ ab jis se

kiyā hai shīsha-e-sā.at ne asbāb-e-safar paidā

dharā hai ashk kis kī chashm meñ juz dīda-e-āshiq

nahīñ dekhā hai ye har ik sadaf se ho guhar paidā

faqat kuchh taur par jalva na thā ā.īne meñ bhī hai

'nasīr' us kī tajallī hai ba-ā.īn-e-digar paidā

meri aah-e-jigar se kyun na howe ab asar paida

wahin to sher rahta hai jahan hota hai sar paida

tamannā ishq ki rakhna ghalat-fahmi hai piri mein

kahin afsurda KHakistar se hota hai sharar paida

rag-e-jaan ke tain majnun ki kya fassad pahchane

mizha se chashm-e-laila ke hai is ko neshtar paida

tayyun se nikal is beza-e-aflak ke ai dil

tahayya arsh par uDne ka hai kar baal-o-par paida

KHuda-hafiz hai bahr-e-ishq mein is dil ki kashti ka

ki hai chin-e-jabin-e-yar se mauj-e-digar paida

gada ko kyun na sayyahi ki lazzat ho ki hota hai

naya dana naya pani naya ek aur ghar paida

yahan tak KHak ka rutba hai is aalam mein ab jis se

kiya hai shisha-e-saat ne asbab-e-safar paida

dhara hai ashk kis ki chashm mein juz dida-e-ashiq

nahin dekha hai ye har ek sadaf se ho guhar paida

faqat kuchh taur par jalwa na tha aaine mein bhi hai

'nasir' us ki tajalli hai ba-ain-e-digar paida
