jis mein ek husn-e-tawazun ho wo nudrat di jae
kya qabahat hai agar fikr ko wusat di jae

mashware qabil-e-taslim tere hain ki nahin
ghaur karne ke liye kuchh mujhe mohlat di jae

maslahat jhut pe insan ko mail kar de
is qadar sakht na ta'zir-e-sadaqat di jae

is amal se dil-e-fankar pe kya guzregi
le ke mahtab agar shama ki qimat di jae

sakht mushkil hai ghalat baat pe qail karna
ek do hon to unhen fahm-o-basirat di jae

baat to jab hai ki mamnun-e-bahaaran hon sabhi
phul to phul hain kanton ko bhi nuzhat di jae

chaara-e-gham ke liye shart hai ikhlas 'nasir'
kaun hai shahr mein aisa jise zahmat di jae
