khair se farz kuchh ada to ho
jis se raazi tera khuda to ho

abr-e-rahmat ko josh aa jae
lab pe aisi koi dua to ho

ru-ba-ru hogi khud-bakhud manzil
gamzan koi qafila to ho

chhu to lunga bulandiyon ko magar
dil mein pur-josh walwala to ho

dard se aashna hue to kya
dard se dil bhi aashna to ho

hum to taslim kar hi len lekin
haq-ba-jaanib wo faisla to ho

zabt-e-gham ke hi waste ai 'nawaz'
koi bharpur qahqaha to ho
