yahi jo aaj hain kharon pe chalne wale log
kabhi the chand sitaron pe chalne wale log

inhen shuur nahin kis taraf ko jate hain
ye sab hain josh mein naron pe chalne wale log

sulagti ret ho neza ho aag-o-dariya ho
hain meri qaum mein chaaron pe chalne wale log

zaban kaise samajh paenge azimat ki
ye maslahat ke ishaaron pe chalne wale log

junun-e-ishq ke maron ki hai yahi tamsil
hon jaise bijli ke taron pe chalne wale log

bhatak raha hai andhere mein haq ki mil jaen
chamakti tegh ki dhaaron pe chalne wale log

'nabil' pyar ki ek jhil tha magar afsos
samajh sake na kinaron pe chalne wale log
