pas-manzaron ke samne manzar hi rah na jaen
sinon ke raaz sinon ke andar hi rah na jaen

kahne ki baat aur hai karne ki baat aur
yani ye soch lijiye kah kar hi rah na jaen

dekho wahi to waqt nahin aa raha hai phir
phir aaj apne sath bahattar hi rah na jaen

ek dusre ko ye jo hadap kar rahe hain hum
socho zamin na ho to samundar hi rah na jaen

is bar gir padi hain chhaten bhi makan ki
is bar hath hath pe dhar kar hi rah na jaen

bhai dua ka shish-mahal bhi hai koi chiz
hathon mein bad-duaon ke patthar hi rah na jaen

kuchh kar ke ai 'nishat' dikhao wagarna phir
afrasiyab-o-khizr-o-sikandar hi rah na jaen
