jabr aur sabr bar hota hai
dil pe kab ikhtiyar hota hai

wo zamane ki khar tak mahken
yaadgar-e-bahaar hota hai

raat aur din ki koi qaid nahin
aap ka intizar hota hai

band karta hun jab bhi main aankhen
samne ru-e-yar hota hai

ahl-e-gulshan ko kya khizan ko bhi
intizar-e-bahaar hota hai

ji raha hun bas is nazariye par
hasil-e-zist pyar hota hai

apne akhlaq hi se duniya mein
aadmi ba-waqar hota hai

nakhuda ko ye kya gharaz koi
dubta hai ki par hota hai

'nur' wo gul jo ho khizan-dida
hasil-e-sad-bahaar hota hai
