zindagi teri tamanna mein basar ho jae
aur kya chahiye jo bar-e-digar ho jae

dard ki dhup dhale aas ka mausam nikhre
tere imkan ka pauda jo shajar ho jae

apni sachchai ka phir mujh ko yaqin aaega
zinat-e-dar-o-rasan mera jo sar ho jae

zindagi karne ka aa jae saliqa jo hamein
surat-e-khuld-e-barin apna ye ghar ho jae

mujh ko bas itna hi saman-e-safar kafi hai
meri manzil hi mera rakht-e-safar ho jae

khil uthe phul ki manind muqaddar mera
mere mahbub agar teri nazar ho jae

hasil-e-zist wahi meri tamanna hai wahi
wo kisi roz muqaddar ka samar ho jae

gham-e-duniya se mile mujh ko rihai ai 'nabil'
meri aahon ka agar us pe asar ho jae

koi daman na ude zard hawaon se 'nabil'
gar sahaara jo bashar ka ye bashar ho jae
