sar tere aastan pe jhukae hue hai hum
yani faraaz arsh pe chhae hue hai hum

hasil hamein hai lutf-e-bahaar-e-jamal-e-dost
mai-khana aaj sar pe uthae hue hai hum

gum-karda rah-e-kaba-o-but-khana se ab dur
in manzilon ki khak udae hue hain hum

aa shaikh mai-kade mein teri aaqibat ba-khair
rahmat ko botalon mein chhupae hue hain hum

'nashtar' tasawwur-e-rukh-e-taban hai raat-din
gham ko bahut hasin banae hue hain hum
