musal_sal bekalii dil ko rahii hai
magar jiine kii suurat to rahii hai

mai.n kyuu.N phirataa huu.N tanhaa maaraa maaraa
ye bastii chain se kyo.n so rahii hai

chal dil se ummiido.n ke musaafir
ye nagarii aaj Khaalii ho rahii hai

na samajho tum ise shor-e-bahaaraa.N
Khizaa.N patto.n me.n chhup ke ro rahii hai

hamare ghar kii diivaaro.n pe 'Nasir'
udaasii baal khole so rahii hai
