kab talak muddaa kahe koi
na suno tum to kya kahe koi

ghairat-e-ishq ko qubul nahin
ki tujhe bewafa kahe koi

minnat-e-na-khuda nahin manzur
chahe us ko khuda kahe koi

har koi apne gham mein hai masruf
kis ko dard-ashna kahe koi

kaun achchha hai is zamane mein
kyun kisi ko bura kahe koi

koi to haq-shanas ho yarab
zulm ko na-rawan kahe koi

wo na samjhenge in kinayon ko
jo kahe barmala kahe koi

aarzu hai ki mera qissa-e-shauq
aaj mere siwa kahe koi

ji mein aata hai kuchh kahun 'nasir'
kya khabar sun ke kya kahe koi
