tu khud kahan hai qafila-e-salar dekhna
ab hum kahan hain aalam-e-raftar dekhna

hum chal pade hain manzil-e-maqsud ke liye
ab sang dekhna hai na diwar dekhna

tazin-e-gulsitan se nahin wasta jinhen
un ke gharon mein phul ke ambar dekhna

jab izn-e-arz-e-haal diya hai to chup raho
ab narawa hai talkhi-e-guftar dekhna

ai baghban na dekh hiqarat se is tarah
jab hum na hon to aalam-e-gulzar dekhna

aae to koi marka-e-hashr samne
ahl-e-junun ka jazba-e-isar dekhna

adna samajh rahe ho hamari bisat ko
yaro sabaat-e-azm sar-e-dar dekhna

sau bar main ne un ko pukara hai ai 'nasir'
guzra bahut garan unhen ek bar dekhna
