mere aangan ka naya rang nazar aata hai
sham hoti hai to ek chand utar aata hai

kya hua hai mujhe kyon ghar pe mere kal shab se
jo bhi aata hai wo ba-dida-e-tar aata hai

jo bhi kahna ho wo kah deti hain lafzon ke baghair
baat karne ka un aankhon ko hunar aata hai

us ke sae mein kai ahd guzare gae hain
raste mein jo mere budha shajar aata hai

aisa manzar kahan rukta hai kisi ke roke
bandh kar paon mein apne jo bhanwar aata hai

khatm jis par ho guzarte hue lamhon ka safar
ek naya sal usi lamhe se ubhar aata hai

ek muddat se bila-nagha sar-e-sham ai 'nur'
qafila shahr-e-nawa ka mere ghar aata hai
