munh se parda na uthe sahab-e-man yaad rahe
phir qayamat hi ayan hai ye sukhan yaad rahe

chhodo itni na zaban ghuncha-dahan yaad rahe
phir hamare bhi dahan hai ye sukhan yaad rahe

kucha-gardon mein nahin hum jo ye kucha chhoden
khak karna hai hamein yan hai badan yaad rahe

ahd aane ka kiya hai to girah band mein de
is se shayad tujhe ai ahd-shikan yaad rahe

aap ke kuche ko hum kaba-e-maqsud samajh
bhul baithe hain sab aaram-e-watan yaad rahe

harf uth jaane ka kah baithe ho ab to lekin
phir na kahiyega kabhi qibla-e-man yaad rahe

sau chaman ek faqat mukhde mein us ke hain 'nazir'
jab ye surat ho to phir kis ko chaman yaad rahe
