khudi ko aazmana chahta hun
tujhe bhi bhul jaana chahta hun

tere logon mein rishte mar rahe hain
zamin ko ye batana chahta hun

bahut roe hain ye shabnam se mil kar
gulon ko main hansana chahta hun

bina tere mahak kis tarah phaili
hawa ko ye dikhana chahta hun

jo pas-manzar mein rahte hain hamesha
unhen manzar mein lana chahta hun

nazar ukta gai hai manzaron se
nai duniya basana chahta hun

faqirana chatai ko bichha kar
sar-e-shahi jhukana chahta hun

ab apne hijr ki rudad 'nashir'
sitaron ko sunana chahta hun
