nigāh bāzār par nahīñ thī vagarna kyuuñ chāra-sāz-e-ġham ne
marīz ke nusḳha-e-shifā meñ ḳhulūs kā jaam likh diyā hai

idhar udhar mirī āñkheñ tujhe pukārtī haiñ
mirī nigāh nahīñ hai zabān hai goyā

dil-e-tabāh bhī hai ālam-e-ḳharāb bhī hai
nigāh-e-dost yahī vaqt-e-inqalāb bhī hai

kahāñ se dekhiye mauj-e-surūr uThtī hai
nigāh-e-nāz bhī hai sāġhar-e-sharāb bhī hai

nigāh-e-shauq larazte haiñ taar chilman ke
talāsh kar inhī kirnoñ meñ āftāb bhī hai

nigāh duur hī rakkho hamāre zaḳhmoñ se
jo in ko dekheñ to gahrā.iyāñ ulajh jaa.eñ

shaiḳh-e-nigāh tirī hāzirī ko chal niklūñ
havā-e-tauba sukhā de agar labāda mirā

milī nigāh to ik pal meñ ham pe guzrā hai
karoḌ qurbatoñ lākhoñ qarār kā mausam

dil-o-nigāh ke husn-o-qarār kā mausam
vo terī yaad tire intizār kā mausam

apne 'darshan' pe ik nigāh-e-karam
ki ġham-e-zindagī kā maarā hai

ik karam kī nigāh kar diije
umr-bhar kā sitam gavārā hai

nigāh-e-yār mil jaatī to ham shāgird ho jaate
zarā ye siikh lete dil ke le lene kā Dhab kyā hai

ḳhatā hai apnī ki māhaul hai zamāne kā
nigāh-e-garm bahut sulh-o-āshtī kam hai

so gardan jhukā kar nigāh taan lī hai
ki inkār o iqrār kā baar utre

mujhe bhī ḳhud na thā ehsās apne hone kā
tirī nigāh meñ apnā maqām khone tak

agar nigāh-e-karam sheva ab nahīñ na sahī
mirī taraf abhī chashm-e-sitam-shi.ār to hai

maqām-e-dil koī manzil na ban sakā na sahī
tirī nigāh-e-mohabbat kī rahguzār to hai

dil kā surāġh kyā ki jahāñ tak nigāh kī
nairañg-e-naqsh-e-rafta-e-pā-e-farār thā

sāhil banī nigāh kī had fāsle miTe
girdāb-e-mauj-e-dūd makāñ kā hisār thā

phir khaTakte haiñ nigāh-e-bāġhbāñ meñ kis liye
ḳhair se ab chaar tinke bhī nasheman meñ nahīñ
