ye socha hi na tha hum ne ki yun qadr-e-hunar hogi
hamare ghar ki pahre-dar taftishi khabar hogi

zamin bhi tang hoti ja rahi hai udne walon par
bhala kya aur is se badh ke tauhin-e-bashar hogi

nae manzar nai khushiyon ka muzhda le ke ubhrenge
chale aao nae andaz se zauq-e-nazar hogi

kabhi socha na tha chup-chap jhonke yun bhi guzrenge
na kaliyon ko khabar hogi na phulon ko khabar hogi

bhala shab ke musafir ka bhi koi sath deta hai
ab aise mausamon ke sath kya apni basar hogi

hamein in barishon se koi samjhauta to karna hai
ye thahraw raha to apni manzil kaise sar hogi

hawaen khushbuon ka sath ab deti nahin 'nashir'
hamari mausamon ke sath phir kyunkar guzar hogi
