apne jazbe nisar mat karte
waqt ka e'tibar mat karte

dagh zakhmon ke an-ginat honge
aablon ka shumar mat karte

darmiyan faslon ke sahra hain
ab mera intizar mat karte

ajnabi des ud gae panchhi
apne bachchon se pyar mat karte

nafraton ke qimar-khane mein
pyar ka karobar mat karte

pair to pattharon ke aadi hain
tai koi sabza-zar mat karte

ek mere jurm-e-be-gunahi ka
tazkira bar bar mat karte

zulm tarik istiara hai
sahab-e-eqtidar mat karte

'nur' is kucha-e-malamat mein
ehtiram-e-bahaar mat karte
