duniya sanwar gai hai nizam-e-digar ke baad
manzil pe aa gai hai mashiyyat safar ke baad

jaise dil-o-nazar ke hijabaat uth gae
aalam khabar ka hai nigah-e-be-khabar ke baad

lale mein rang hai ye kahan ye lahu tarang
duniya hasin hai mere zauq-e-nazar ke baad

biti hui hayat mohabbat ka tazkira
sham-o-sahar ki yaad hai sham-o-sahar ke baad

main aa gaya sukut-o-tabassum ke darmiyan
wo muskura diye sukhan-e-mukhtasar ke baad

har raste ko lut liya e'timad ne
rahzan bhi ek shai hai magar rahbar ke baad

tariki-e-hayat mein rakhshan hai husn-e-dost
jalwe kahan rahenge hujum-e-nazar ke baad

hasil hai kaenat ka dard-e-dil-e-hayat
duniya mein kya raha meri aah-e-sahar ke baad

manzil pe chhid gai hai kudurat ki dastan
har karwan ne gard udai safar ke baad

naqsh-e-qadam ki aankh khuli teri rah mein
raste bhi so gae hain teri rahguzar ke baad

ahl-e-hunar ko dekh raha hun ghamin 'nushur'
duniya hunar hai ras bhi aae hunar ke baad
