mita chuka rah-e-ulfat mein zindagani ko
zamana ab to sunega meri kahani ko

nazar na aaya sukun ka kahin koi lamha
bahut qarib se dekha hai zindagani ko

sunega kaun kise hogi is qadar fursat
tawil kar to rahe ho meri kahani ko

wo mast mast nigahen asar jama hi gain
alag sharab se karta raha main pani ko

kabhi to un ki tawajjoh meri taraf hogi
hazar bar main dohraunga kahani ko

tere khayal se ghafil kahin na ho jaun
main chhute darta hun ab jam-e-arghawani ko

hayat-e-nau jise bakhshi thi 'nur' main ne kabhi
mita raha hai wahi meri zindagani ko
