jabin pe dhup si aankhon mein kuchh haya si hai
tu ajnabi hai magar shakl aashna si hai

khayal hi nahin aata kisi musibat ka
tere khayal mein har baat gham-ruba si hai

jahan mein yun to kise chain hai magar pyare
ye tere phul se chehre pe kyun udasi hai

dil-e-gamin se bhi jalte hain shadman-e-hayat
usi charagh ki ab shahr mein hawa si hai

hamin se aankh churaata hai us ka har zarra
magar ye khak hamare hi khun ki pyasi hai

udas phirta hun main jis ki dhun mein barson se
yunhi si hai wo khushi baat wo zara si hai

chahakte bolte shahron ko kya hua 'nasir'
ki din ko bhi mere ghar mein wahi udasi hai
