dur kuchh ahl-e-junun ki be-qarari kijiye
ho sake to un ki thodi gham-gusari kijiye

jin ke bistar se nahin jati koi silwat kabhi
un ki aankhon mein wafa ke khwab jari kijiye

ishq ki qismat yahi hai ishq ka mansab yahi
jagiye shab-bhar yunhi akhtar-shumari kijiye

nochiye zakhm-e-jigar ko aankh bhar kar roiye
aur kab tak hijr mein yun aah-o-zari kijiye

bhejiye koi bulawa koi chitthi bhejiye
apne un pardesiyon se shahar-dari kijiye

log hain tayyar hijrat ke liye is shahr se
phir koi taza naya farman jari kijiye

phir koi taza bapa hone ko hai ek marka
nahr-e-furaat-e-karbala ko phir se jari kijiye

kaam aaega na koi mushkilon mein dekhna
jis qadar bhi doston se waza-dari kijiye

tishna-e-takmil thahre baat na koi 'nabil'
guftugu jitni bhi hai dil mein wo sari kijiye

aaega kab sans warna dusra tujh ko 'nabil'
dil ke zakhmon ki na aise parda-dari kijiye
