mana ki hum is daur ka hasil to nahin the
na-qadri-e-duniya ke bhi qabil to nahin the

aata to sahi baad-e-sahar ka koi jhonka
hum khas kisi phul pe mail to nahin the

har shakhs ne naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa hum ko banaya
har shakhs ki hum rah mein hail to nahin the

do ghunt hi pi lete agar koi pilata
hum rind-e-khush-auqat the sail to nahin the

kya baat hai 'nuri' jo hai ab lahje mein narmi
tum narmi-e-guftar ke qatil to nahin the
