tishnagi achchhi nahin rakhna bahut
rauzan-e-gul se use takna bahut
dekh kar jis shakhs ko hansna bahut
sar ko is ke samne dhakna bahut
jis ki ankhon men na jhanka jaega
is ki hi tahrir ko padhna bahut
mauja-e-reg-e-ravan hai zer-e-ab
apni hasti dekh kar badhna bahut
barf ki manind jiina umr bhar
ret ki surat magar tapna bahut
umr bhar ki bandishen khvab-o-khayal
do qadam bhi saath hai chalna bahut
khastagi ‘nahid’ ban jaae na jurm
apni hasti dekh kar badhna bahut
