thi jis ki saltanat kabhi hadd-e-nigah tak
milti nahin hai us ko kahin ab panah tak

kuchh nek log nar-e-hasad se sulag uthe
pahuncha jo tera faiz hum ahl-e-gunah tak

man bap ke wajud se raushan hai itna ghar
tarik lag rahe hain mujhe mehr-o-mah tak

but-khana-e-dimagh ka jadu utar gaya
pahunche jab apne dil ki hasin khanqah tak

shatranj khelne mein hue is tarah magan
dushman ki tegh aa gai aalam-panah tak

bas itna hi nahin mera qatil bari hua
mujrim bata diye gae mere gawah tak

dena tha jin ko sher se paigham-e-inqalab
mahdud ho chuke hain faqat wah wah tak

sach bolne ke shauq mein toda hai ek dil
neki ke raste se gae hum gunah tak

kin kin aziyyaton se guzarna pada hamein
pane se le ke aap ko khone ki chah tak

teri siyah chashm se pur-nur ek rah
aati hai is 'nabil' ke qalb-e-siyah tak
