zor hai garmi-e-bazar tire kuche men
jama hain tere kharidar tire kuche men
dekh kar tujh ko qadam uth nahin sakta apna
ban gae surat-e-divar tire kuche men
paanv phailae zamin par main pada rahta huun
surat-e-saya-e-divar tire kuche men
go tu milta nahin par dil ke taqaze se ham
roz ho aate hain sau baar tire kuche men
ek ham hain ki qadam rakh nahin sakte varna
aindate phirte hain aghyar tire kuche men
pasbanon ki tarah raton ko be-tabi se
naale karte hain ham ai yaar tire kuche men
aarzu hai jo marun main to yahin dafn bhi huun
hai jagah thodi si darkar tire kuche men
gar yahi hain tire abru ke ishare qatil
aj-kal chalti hai talvar tire kuche men
hal-e-dil kahne ka ‘nasikh’ jo nahin paata baar
phenk jaata hai vo ashar tire kuche men
