ek yahi ab mera hawala hai
ruh zakhmi hai jism chhaala hai

saikdon bar soch kar main ne
tere sanche mein khud ko dhaala hai

khinchne wala hai aasman sar se
hadisa ye bhi hone wala hai

ek khuda-tars mauj ne mujh ko
sahilon ki taraf uchhaala hai

ghaalib aai hawas mohabbat par
aarzuon ka rang kala hai

ek taraf jam aafiyat ke hain
ek taraf zahr ka hi pyala hai

kar-e-duniya ki aarzu ne 'nabil'
mujh ko sau uljhanon mein dala hai
