aks tuta hai barha mera
sang-e-khara hai aaina mera

sari duniya meri mukhalif hai
ek bachcha hai ham-nawa mera

tez barish ka main parinda hun
baadalon mein hai ghonsla mera

ghar mein mehman hui hai tanhai
bhar gaya hai bar-amda mera

do charaghon se raat raushan hai
ek tera hai dusra mera

upar upar se thik lagta hai
zakhm andar se hai hara mera

puchh lena kisi parinde se
sab ko malum hai pata mera

meri tarkib mein hai sachchai
kaun chakkhega zaiqa mera

kone-khudre bhi khub raushan hain
hujra-e-zat hai khula mera

hone lagti hai baat jab khud se
tut jata hai rabta mera

kisi manzil ki yaad aate hi
chalne lagta hai naqsh-e-pa mera

ek parkar ke simatte hi
phail jata hai daera mera

ek thokar se tut jaega
jism-e-fani hai bhurbhura mera

tum zaminon ko napte rahna
kaenati hai fasla mera

thak ke wapas chala gaya 'nasir'
ain manzil se rasta mera
