dil ishq-e-khush-qadan mein jo khwahan-e-nala tha
diwana-war silsila-jumban-e-nala tha

nale se mere kya hai hawai ko ham-sari
tir-e-shahab raat ko qurban-e-nala tha

dhundun na kyunki dil ko main ai aahuwan-e-dasht
sine mein wo to sher-e-niyastan-e-nala tha

karta tha jin dinon ye falak hum se sar-kashi
nawak-zani ka aah se paiman-e-nala tha

ishq-e-butan tha dil se jo dam-saz misl-e-nai
har dam asar mein taba-e-farman-e-nala tha

sayyaad ke jigar mein kare tha sinan ka kaam
murgh-e-qafas ke sar pe ye ehsan-e-nala tha

gade falak pe kya ye dil-e-na-tawan alam
wo din gae jo auj-e-farawan-e-nala tha

kal shab ko zikr tha jo kisi neza-baz ka
aashiq ka tere charkh sana-khwan-e-nala tha

yaron ke qafile ki mujhe jab ki yaad thi
sine mein jun jaras mere saman-e-nala tha

mat puchh wardat-e-shab-e-hijr ai 'nasir'
main kya kahun jo kar-e-numayan-e-nala tha

lene ko akhtran-e-falak se khiraj-o-baj
har aan shoala-o-sharar-afshan-e-nala tha
