kudurat baDh ke aaKHir ko nikalti hai fughan ho kar

kudurat badh ke aakhir ko nikalti hai fughan ho kar
zamin ye sar par aa jati hai ek din aasman ho kar
mere naqsh-e-qadam ne rah mein kante bichhae hain
bataen to wo ghar ghairon ke jaenge kahan ho kar


khuda se sar-kashi ki pir-e-zahid is qadar tu ne
ki tera tir sa qad ho gaya hai ab kaman ho kar
koi puchhe ki mayyat ka bhi tum kuchh sath dete ho
ye aae marsiya le kar wo aae nauha-khwan ho kar


irada pir-e-zahid se hai ab turki-ba-turki ka
kisi bhatti pe ja baithunga main pir-e-mughan ho kar
talash-e-yar kya aur sair kya ai ham-nashin hum to
chale aur ghar chale aae yahan ho kar wahan ho kar


'sukhan' ki bazm mein 'nadir' usi ke sar pe sehra hai
raha jo ham-nawa-e-bulbul-e-hindostan ho kar
