ye dua kash pur-asar ho jae
mera har khwab mo'atabar ho jae

pyasi pyasi si zindagi ki zamin
teri yaadon se tar-ba-tar ho jae

zikr tera ho fikr teri ho
umr kuchh is tarah basar ho jae

badlen tarikiyan ujalon se
qurb hasil tera agar ho jae

abr-e-rahmat hai pyasa pyasa dil
is taraf bhi to ek nazar ho jae

dil ko mere sambhaal le maula
is se pahle ki dar-ba-dar ho jae

hai wahi hoshiyar 'nilam' jo
maut se pahle ba-khabar ho jae
