dil men aur to kya rakkha hai
tera dard chhupa rakkha hai
itne dukhon ki tez hava men
dil ka diip jala rakkha hai
dhuup se chehron ne duniya men
kya andher macha rakkha hai
is nagri ke kuchh logon ne
dukh ka naam dava rakkha hai
vada-e-yar ki baat na chhedo
ye dhoka bhi kha rakkha hai
bhuul bhi jaao biiti baten
in baton men kya rakkha hai
chup chup kyuun rahte ho ‘nasir’
ye kya rog laga rakkha hai
