jab zara tez hawa hoti hai
kaisi sunsan faza hoti hai

hum ne dekhe hain wo sannate bhi
jab har ek sans sada hoti hai

dil ka ye haal hua tere baad
jaise viran sara hoti hai

rona aata hai hamein bhi lekin
is mein tauhin-e-wafa hoti hai

munh-andhere kabhi uth kar dekho
kya tar o taza hawa hoti hai

ajnabi dhyan ki har mauj ke sath
kis qadar tez hawa hoti hai

gham ke be-nur guzargahon mein
ek kiran zauq-faza hoti hai

gham-gusar-e-safar-e-rah-e-wafa
mizha-e-abla-pa hoti hai

gulshan-e-fikr ki munh-band kali
shab-e-mahtab mein wa hoti hai

jab nikalti hai nigar-e-shab-e-gul
munh pe shabnam ki rida hoti hai

hadsa hai ki khizan se pahle
bu-e-gul gul se juda hoti hai

ek naya daur janam leta hai
ek tahzib fana hoti hai

jab koi gham nahin hota 'nasir'
bekali dil ki siwa hoti hai
