jis waqt us ne bakht hamare banae the
hum ne hatheliyon pe sitare banae the

kuchh panchhiyon ne ghonsle pedon ke jhund mein
unchi jaghon pe khauf ke mare banae the

main ne bas ek nahr nikali thi hath se
dariya ne aap apne kinare banae the

hasb-e-murad dast-e-hunar bolne laga
gunge ne chand aise ishaare banae the

kuchh zindagi ba-yaad-e-azizan zarur thi
kuchh dost hum ne jaan se pyare banae the

hum ne haya pahan ke mohabbat-shiar ki
gudiyon ke waste bhi gharare banae the

dil mein 'nasim' husn ki takfil ke liye
aankhon ne kaise kaise idare banae the
