farogh-e-zulmat-e-shab tak hi jagmagaenge
sahar hui to sitare nazar na aaenge

dawam sirf haqiqat ko hai zamane mein
jo dastan hai use log bhul jaenge

bhatak rahe hain jo manzil ki justuju mein abhi
wahi safar ke nae zawiye banaenge

harif-e-mauj-o-talatum hon sab ye na-mumkin
nahif hain jo safine wo dub jaenge

hamare zehn abhi itne nukta-ras hain kahan
teri nazar ke ishaare samajh na paenge

jafa se un ki jo tartib pa rahi hai abhi
wo dastan bhi sar-e-anjuman sunaenge

'nasir' tark-e-talluq hi un se behtar hai
wafa ke nam pe kab tak fareb khaenge
