is duniya mein apna kya hai
kahne ko sab kuchh apna hai

yun to shabnam bhi hai dariya
yun to dariya bhi pyasa hai

yun to hira bhi hai kankar
yun to mitti bhi sona hai

munh dekhe ki baaten hain sab
kis ne kis ko yaad kiya hai

tere sath gai wo raunaq
ab is shahr mein kya rakkha hai

baat na kar surat to dikha de
tera is mein kya jata hai

dhyan ke aatish-dan mein 'nasir'
bujhe dinon ka dher pada hai
