teri dahliz par is ko muqaddas mo'atabar jaana
magar jab aae maidan mein to kab phir sar ko sar jaana

yahi andaz to ahsan ko asfal karne wala hai
faqat khana kamana aish karna aur mar jaana

haqiqi ishq tha jis ne rakha tarikh mein zinda
kisi ka do pahadon par idhar jaana udhar jaana

tumhaari muntazir rahti hain budhi shakhen shiddat se
parinde der se mat sham ko su-e-shajar jaana

mohabbat karne walon ke bhi kya andaz hote hain
kabhi aandhi se lad jaana kabhi aahat se dar jaana

wahan bachchon ke chehre dekh kar kuchh yaad aaega
hamare ghar jala kar tum ko bhi hai apne ghar jaana

padho pahle 'nabil' ek umr phir thamo qalam apna
zaruri hai chhalakne ke liye andar se bhar jaana
