na kaliyan muskuraati hain na phulon par nikhaar aae
badi be-kaifiyon ke sath ayyam-e-bahaar aae

koi qimat nahin aise wafa ke ahd-o-paiman ki
mujhe jis par yaqin aae na un ko e'tibar aae

jahan ke chappe chappe par guman hota tha manzil ka
meri manzil mein aise marhale bhi be-shumar aae

haqiqat us ke dil se puchhiye jazb-e-mohabbat ki
samajh mein jis ke mafhum-e-nigah-e-sharmsar aae

nizam-e-gulsitan zarf-e-tamanna se ibarat hai
tere daman mein phul aae mere daman mein khar aae

mariz-e-gham ke lab par nam un ka bar bar aaya
phir us ke baad chaarasaz aae gham-gusar aae

'nasir' aaya tawaf-e-ku-e-jaanan ras kab dil ko
tamanna-e-sukun le kar gae aur be-qarar aae
