jis taraf chahun pahunch jaun masafat kaisi
main to aawaz hun aawaz ki hijrat kaisi

sunne walon ki samaat gai goyai bhi
qissa-go tu ne sunai thi hikayat kaisi

hum junun wale hain hum se kabhi puchho pyare
dasht kahte hain kise dasht ki wahshat kaisi

aap ke khauf se kuchh hath badhe hain lekin
dast-e-majbur ki sahmi hui baiat kaisi

phir nae sal ki sarhad pe khade hain hum log
rakh ho jaega ye sal bhi hairat kaisi

aur kuchh zakhm mere dil ke hawale meri jaan
ye mohabbat hai mohabbat mein shikayat kaisi

main kisi aankh se chhalka hua aansu hun 'nabil'
meri taid hi kya meri baghawat kaisi
