main chob-e-khushk sahi waqt ka hun sahra mein
sahar pukarti mujh ko to sath chalta main

mere wajud mein zinda sadi ka sannata
tah-e-zamin hun koi bolta sa dariya main

har ek zawiya mere lahu ke nam se hai
bata raha hun nai wusaton ko rasta main

bahut se log to jite hi ji ke marte hain
bas ek shakhs ki marta hun roz tanha main

tu aaina hai teri zat ajnabi to nahin
qarib aa tujhe apna dikhaun chehra main

ye is takalluf-e-beja ki kya zarurat hai
ki ek mishal-e-jaan tha khushi se jalta main

na jaane kaun tha dasht-e-azal-abad mein 'nisar'
jo apne aap se milta to kyun bichhadta main
