mere ghubar-e-safar ka maal raushan hai
shafaq shafaq abhi naqsh-e-zawal raushan hai

sada-e-gumbad-e-tabir sun raha hun main
faza-e-khwab mein kirnon ka jal raushan hai

wo ek fikriya lamha usi tarah hai abhi
tere jawab se mera sawal raushan hai

parind kyun na udain hansi andheron ki
mere shajar ki abhi dal dal raushan hai

surur teri rifaqat ka kam nahin hota
tasawwuraat mein rang-e-visal raushan hai

na koi baat hai kahne ki aur na sunne ki
tumhaara mujh pe mera tum pe haal raushan hai

sawal rah badalne ka hai to tum badlo
meri dalil hai wazeh misal raushan hai

jise main waqt ke sahra mein phenk aaya hun
usi chatan pe sadiyon ka haal raushan hai

diye jalata hua badh raha hai dast-e-hawa
faza muhib hai lekin khayal raushan hai

shikari apni jagah mutmain hain chup sadhe
parinde dekh rahe hain ki jal raushan hai

kisi andhere ko khatir mein tum nahin lana
mera charagh ba-hadd-e-kamal raushan hai

ye ehtiyat-e-safar ka maqam hai 'nusrat'
yahan se wahshat-e-pa-e-ghazal raushan hai
