dil ke mausam ko kisi taur suhana kar de
zindagi karne ka koi to bahana kar de

hum ko ye shahr-e-hawas kat raha hai kab se
hum faqiron ka kahin aur thikana kar de

mangne chal to diye us se dil apna wapas
wo magar phir na koi taza bahana kar de

ahd-e-nau ras kab aaya hamein bhi yarab
is nae waqt ko pahle sa purana kar de

jo fasanon ko haqiqat mein badal deta hai
ye bhi mumkin hai haqiqat ko fasana kar de

fikr ko meri wo tasir ata kar yarab
mere sheron ko jo maqbul-e-zamana kar de

zindagi apni to guzri hai hawadis mein 'nigar'
mere bachchon ke muqaddar ko suhana kar de
