ruh-e-ehsas hai tahi-daman
dil hai ya hasraton ka ek madfan

phailti ja rahi hai tariki
sham mahsus kar rahi hai thakan

multafit jab se hai nazar un ki
dil ko dar-pesh hai nai uljhan

meri yaadon se gul-ba-daman hai
ek zohra-jamal ka aangan

aadamiyat kahin na ho ruswa
zindagi ka badal raha hai chalan

har sitara mere muqaddar ka
un ke mathe ki ban gaya hai shikan

lut chuka hun rah-e-tamanna mein
aarzu ab to chhod de daman

kis ko apna kahen ki ai 'nasir'
har hasin shakhs hai wafa dushman
