har khata us ki hamesha darguzar karti hui
faslon ko dil ki chahat mukhtasar karti hui

zehn-o-dil ki raushni ko tez-tar karti hui
guftugu sidhe teri dil par asar karti hui

mere jazbon ke fusun mein qaid wo hota hua
us ke lahje ki khanak mujh par asar karti hui

zindagi ki tez-gami aur daulat ki hawas
aane wale kal se hum ko be-khabar karti hui

hausla deta hua sa mujh ko mera e'timad
be-yaqini dil mein paida dar pe dar karti hui

bhola-pan aur sadgi par us ki main mitta hua
ek surat mohni si dil mein ghar karti hui

kis ko ye malum ai 'nayab' nisbat kis ki hai
mere har naqsh-e-qadam ko mo'atabar karti hui
