agar zaban se na ashk-e-rawan se guzrega
to phir ghubar-e-tabiat kahan se guzrega

hamare naqsh-e-qadam rah mein banae rakho
abhi zamana isi kahkashan se guzrega

abhi to bijliyan tutengi khirman-e-dil par
abhi to qafila shahr-e-butan se guzrega

nasib hongi use sarfaraaziyan kya kya
jo sar jhuka ke tere aastan se guzrega

usi se raste puchhenge khairiyat meri
wo mere shahr mein tanha jahan se guzrega

main sochta hun rahega jo fasla qaem
zamana un ke mere darmiyan se guzrega

nasib hongi use kaamyabiyan 'nazmi'
khushi ke sath jo har imtihan se guzrega
