apne hisar-e-zat mein uljha hua hun main
yani ki kaenat mein uljha hua hun main

qabu mein aaj dil nahin kya ho gaya mujhe
phir aaj khwahishat mein uljha hua hun main

jaise ki hone wali hai anhoni phir koi
har-pal tawahhumat mein uljha hua hun main

kuchh apna farz pyar tera fikr-e-rozgar
kitne hi wardat mein uljha hua hun main

fursat kahan banaun marasim nae nae
pichhle talluqat mein uljha hua hun main

sab hain asir-e-ranj-o-alam is jahan mein
tanha kahan hayat mein uljha hua hun main

'nayab' jab nahin hai wafaon ka us ko pas
phir kyun takallufat mein uljha hua hun main
