yaad nahii.n kyaa kyaa dekhaa thaa saare manzar bhuul gaye
us kii galiyo.n se jab lauTe apanaa bhii ghar bhuul gaye

Khuub gaye pardes ki apane diivaar-o-dar bhuul gaye
shiish-mahal ne aisaa gheraa miTTii ke ghar bhuul gaye

tujh ko bhii jab apanii qasame.n apane vaade yaad nahii.n
ham bhii apane Khvaab terii aa.Nkho.n me.n rakh kar bhuul gaye

mujh ko ji.nho.ne qatl kiyaa hai ko_ii u.nhe.n batalaaye "Nazeer"
merii laash ke pahaluu me.n vo apanaa Khanjar bhuul gaye

dhuaa.N banaake fizaa me.n u.Daa diyaa mujhako
mai.n jal rahaa thaa kisii ne bujhaa diyaa mujhako

taraqqiyo.n kaa fasaanaa sunaa diyaa mujhako
abhii ha.Nsaa bhii na thaa aur rulaa diyaa mujhako

mai.n ek zarraa bula.ndii ko chhuune nikalaa thaa
havaa ne tham ke zamii.n par giraa diyaa mujhako

safed saa.ng kii chaadar lapeT kar mujh par
fasiil-e-shahar pe kisane sajaa diyaa mujhako

kha.Daa huu.N aaj bhii roTii ke chaar harf liye
savaal ye hai kitaabo.n ne kyaa diyaa mujahko

na jaane kaun saa jazbaa thaa jisane Khud hii "Nazeer"
merii hii zaat kaa dushman banaa diyaa mujhako

apanii aa.Nkho.n ke samu.ndar me.n utar jaane de
teraa mujarim huu.N mujhe Duub ke mar jaane de

ai naye dost mai.n samajhuu.Ngaa tujhe bhii apanaa
pahale maazii kaa koii zaKhm to bhar jaane de

aag duniyaa kii lagaii huii bhuj jaayegii
koii aa.Nsuu mere daaman pe bikhar jaane de

zaKhm kitane terii chaahat se mile hai.n mujhako
sochataa huu.N ki kahuu.N tujhase magar jaane de
