hum phadak kar todte sari qafas ki tiliyan
par nahin ai hum safiro! apne bas ki tiliyan

bahr-e-aiwan aur banwa chilman ai parda-nashin
ho gai bad-rang hain agle baras ki tiliyan

khak mein na jins rahte hain na ahl-e-imtiyaz
ai falak banti nahin jarub khas ki tiliyan

ain fasl-e-gul mein hi sayyaad-e-be-parwa ne aah
das ke par katre to kin aankhon mein das ki tiliyan

hirs-e-duniya chahti hai ye ki sim-o-zar ki hon
ye charagh-e-khana-e-ahl-e-hawas ki tiliyan

imtiyaz-e-nek-o-bad khud ho na jis ko ai 'nasir'
us ke nazdik ek hain khashak-o-khas ki tiliyan
