kapdon mein makanon mein niwalon mein pade hain
sab log inhin tin khayalon mein pade hain

hum ahl-e-nazar band hain tarik gharon mein
andhe hain ki din-raat ujalon mein pade hain

rone se lakiren mere chehre pe bani hain
hansne se gadhe aap ke galon mein pade hain

tum sath na the jab to faqat ashk dhare the
ab khwab bhi aankhon ke piyalon mein pade hain

is qaum pe zillat ki jami gard to kya hai
pakiza sahife bhi to jalon mein pade hain

chandi ke hasin jam mein dube the jo kal shab
sunte hain 'nabil' aaj wo nalon mein pade hain
