jo meri aakhiri khwahish ki tarjuman thahri
wo ek ghaarat-e-jaan hi mata-e-jaan thahri

ye gham nahin ki mera aashiyan raha na raha
khushi ye hai ki yahin barq be-aman thahri

wo teri chashm-e-fusun-saz thi ki mauj-e-karam
wahin wahin pe main duba jahan jahan thahri

kabhi the us mein meri zindagi ke hangame
wo ek gali jo guzargah-e-dushmanan thahri

wahi thi zist ka hasil wahi thi lutf-e-hayat
wo ek saat-e-rangin jo be-karan thahri

main us ko bhul bhi jaun to kis tarah 'nasir'
jo shart-e-khas mere un ke darmiyan thahri
