is chhote se shahr mein kab tak chhupa rahega aakhir wo
yahin kahin pe dhata hoga koi naya man mandir wo

aag si khaslat hawa tabiat bas ye hi ausaf bache
pani mitti jaise bhul ke aaya kahan anasir wo

na-mumkin tha hum donon mein karobar mohabbat ka
mera tha iman wafa par aur wafa ka tajir wo

donon apni apni rit nibhane par majbur hue
main ek ped thi jaise rasta bhula ek musafir wo

aaine be-aib sabhi the lekin phir bhi tod gaya
ye aasan tha apne naqsh badalne se tha qasir wo

lut ke jo le jaen basti un ko lute tanhai
apne ghar se ek din ho jaega 'nur' muhajir wo
