ye teri sard-mehri ye teri kaj-adai
ek husn-e-dil-farebi ek shan-e-dilrubai

aalam se tera chhupna hai aalam-ashnai
pinhan hijab mein hai andaz-e-khud-numai

ai ishq-e-fitna-saman teri samajh kahan hai
masum husn ke sar ilzam-e-bewafai

us dar ka koi sajda maqbul ho ajab kya
kuchh hum bhi aaj kar len taqdir-azmai

dhaare pe bahr-e-gham ke be-khauf ja rahe hain
kashti nahin hamari muhtaj-e-na-khudai

ai khak-e-rah-e-manzil ab tujh pe bar hain hum
hum ko bitha chuka hai ranj-e-shikasta-pai

uthwa raha hai mujh ko 'nudrat' kisi ke dar se
ye zauq-e-sajda-rezi ye shauq-e-jibha-sai
