dil ishq ka mara tha college ke zamane mein
har zakhm gawara tha college ke zamane mein

ab sirf andheri shab aur sath hai tanhai
ek chand hamara tha college ke zamane mein

hai aaj bhi yaadon ke gumbad mein sada teri
kyon tu ne pukara tha college ke zamane mein

ahbab ki mahfil mein hum bant diya karte
gham jaise chhuara tha college ke zamane mein

baithe hain jahan aansu is aankh ke sahil par
khwabon ko utara tha college ke zamane mein

us ke hi to sadqe mein har jit mili hum ko
jo marka haara tha college ke zamane mein

bosida kitaben sab us phul se mahki hain
bakhsha jo tumhaara tha college ke zamane mein

khamosh jazira to sadmon se bana hun main
pur-shor kinara tha college ke zamane mein

likh dete 'nabil' apne sher us ki kitabon par
yun fan ko nikhaara tha college ke zamane mein
