fikr-e-taameer-e-aashiaN bhi hai
khauf-e-be mahri-e-khizaaN bhi hai
khaaq bhi ud rahi hai rastoN mein
aamad-e-subh-e-samaaN bhi hai
rang bhi ud raha hai phooloN ka
ghuncha ghuncha sard-fasaaN bhi hai
oas bhi hai kahiiN kahiiN larzaaN
bazm-e-anjuman dhuaaN dhuaaN bhi hai
kuch to mausam bhi hai khyaal angez
kuch tabiyat miree ravaan bhi hai
kuch tiraa husn bhi hai hosh-rubaa
kuch miree shokhi-e-butaaN bhi hai
har nafs shauq bhi hai manzil kaa
har qadam yaad-e-raftugaaN bhi hai
wajh-e-taskeeN bhi hai khyaal uska
had se badh jaaye to giraaN bhi hai
zindagi jis ke dam se hai Nasir
yaad uski azaab-e-jaaN bhi hai
