Nisar main teri galiyon ke

nisar main teri galiyon ke ai watan ki jahan
chali hai rasm ki koi na sar uTha ke chale

jo koi chahne wala tawaf ko nikle
nazar chura ke chale jism o jaan bacha ke chale

hai ahl-e-dil ke liye ab ye nazm-e-bast-o-kushad
ki sang-o-KHisht muqayyad hain aur sag aazad

bahut hai zulm ke dast-e-bahana-ju ke liye
jo chand ahl-e-junun tere nam-lewa hain

bane hain ahl-e-hawas muddai bhi munsif bhi
kise wakil karen kis se munsifi chahen

magar guzarne walon ke din guzarte hain
tere firaq mein yun subh o sham karte hain

bujha jo rauzan-e-zindan to dil ye samjha hai
ki teri mang sitaron se bhar gai hogi

chamak uThe hain salasil to hum ne jaana hai
ki ab sahar tere ruKH par bikhar gai hogi

gharaz tasawwur-e-sham-o-sahar mein jite hain
giraft-e-saya-e-diwar-o-dar mein jite hain

yunhi hamesha ulajhti rahi hai zulm se KHalq
na un ki rasm nai hai na apni rit nai

yunhi hamesha khilae hain hum ne aag mein phul
na un ki haar nai hai na apni jit nai

isi sabab se falak ka gila nahin karte
tere firaq mein hum dil bura nahin karte

gar aaj tujh se juda hain to kal baham honge
ye raat bhar ki judai to koi baat nahin

gar aaj auj pe hai tala-e-raqib to kya
ye chaar din ki KHudai to koi baat nahin

jo tujh se ahd-e-wafa ustuwar rakhte hain
ilaj-e-gardish-e-lail-o-nahaar rakhte hain
