dukh ki lahar ne chheda hoga
yaad ne kankar phenka hoga

aaj to mera dil kahta hai
tu is waqt akela hoga

mere chume hue hathon se
auron ko khat likhta hoga

bhig chalin ab raat ki palken
tu ab thak kar soya hoga

rail ki gahri siti sun kar
raat ka jangal gunja hoga

shahr ke khali station par
koi musafir utra hoga

aangan mein phir chidiyan bolin
tu ab so kar uttha hoga

yaadon ki jalti shabnam se
phul sa mukhda dhoya hoga

moti jaisi shakl bana kar
aaine ko takta hoga

sham hui ab tu bhi shayad
apne ghar ko lauta hoga

nili dhundli khamoshi mein
taron ki dhun sunta hoga

mera sathi sham ka tara
tujh se aankh milata hoga

sham ke chalte hath ne tujh ko
mera salam to bheja hoga

pyasi kurlati kunjon ne
mera dukh to sunaya hoga

main to aaj bahut roya hun
tu bhi shayad roya hoga

'nasir' tera mit purana
tujh ko yaad to aata hoga
