Jurm-e-inkaar kii sazaa hii de

jurm-e-inkaar kii sazaa hii de
mere haq meN bhii kuch sunaa hii de

shauq meN hameN nahiiN ziyaadaa talab
jo teraa naaz-e-kam-nigaahii de

tuu ne taaroN se shab kii maaNg bharii
mujh ko ek ashq subh-gaahii (?) de

tuu ne banjar zamiiN ko phuul diye
mujh ko ek zakhm dil-kushaa hii de

bastioN ko diye haiN tuu ne chiraaG
dasht-e-dil ko bhii ko'ii raahii de

umr bhar kii navaa-garii kaa silaa
ai Khudaa! ko'ii ham-navaa hii de

zard-rau hain warq KhyaaloN ke
ai shab-e-hijr ! kuch siyaahii de

gar majaal-e-sukhan nahiiN "Nasir"
lab-e-khaamosh se gavaahii de
