bazm-e-rang-o-bu ka hun main raazdan tanha
hai meri zamin tanha aur aasman tanha

rahrawan-e-manzil hi jab bichhad chuke sare
kya karega manzil par mir-e-karwan tanha

rahguzar mein yaksui anjuman mein tanhai
hum tere tasawwur mein the kahan kahan tanha

zindagi ki rahen ab pur-khatar hain is darja
aap chal nahin sakte do-qadam yahan tanha

zauq-e-bandagi ho to bandagi ko kafi hain
ek meri jabin tanha tera aastan tanha

un se haal-e-dil kahna ai 'nasir' lazim hai
khamushi nahin hoti gham ki tarjuman tanha
