ho chuki bagh mein bahaar afsos
aah ai bulbulo hazar afsos
qafila umr ka hai pa-ba-rikab
zist ka kya hai e'tibar afsos
meri raaton ko dekh soKHtagi
na kiya ek din bhi yar afsos
shab se parwane ki lagan mein shama
subh tak roi zar zar afsos
saKHt be-tabi se kaTi kal raat
aaj bhi dil hai be-qarar afsos
KHal-o-KHat ko samajh ke dana-o-dam
murgh-e-dil ho gaya shikar afsos
aah dast-e-junun se ai naseh
hai gareban tar tar afsos
jaan honTon pe aa gai hamdam
lekin ab tak phira na yar afsos
umr ghaflat mein kaT gai hai 'nasir'
aah afsos sad-hazar afsos
Ghazal
Ho chuki bagh mein bahaar afsos
Shah Naseer
