rut khizan ki hai aur hari hui hai
shakh-e-gul tu to bawri hui hai

kya udanon ko hausla degi
ai hawa tu to khud dari hui hai

zindagi mil kabhi to fursat se
baat abhi tujh se sarsari hui hai

koi manzar nahin hai aankhon mein
ratjagon ki thakan bhari hui hai

qurbaten karwaten badalti hui
aur ana beach mein dhari hui hai

ye jo baithe hain sar jhukae hue
aaj in se khari khari hui hai

khud-kalami hai ye teri 'nusrat'
mat abhi soch shairi hui hai
