be-sabab hi kabhi aawaz lagao to sahi

be-sabab hī kabhī āvāz lagāo to sahī

apne hone kā kuchh ehsās dilāo to sahī

saañs letā huā har rang nazar aa.egā

tum kisī roz mire rang meñ aao to sahī

taaki phir raat kī tasvīr utārī jaa.e

in charāġhoñ ko zarā der bujhāo to sahī

hausla hai to jazīra bhī tumhārā hogā

ḳhauf kī kashtiyāñ sāhil pe jalāo to sahī

zindagī jism se bāhar bhī nazar aa.e kabhī

koī hangāma sar-e-rāh uThāo to sahī

merī miTTī meñ mohabbat hī mohabbat hai 'nabīl'

chhū ke dekho to sahī haath lagāo to sahī

be-sabab hi kabhi aawaz lagao to sahi

apne hone ka kuchh ehsas dilao to sahi

sans leta hua har rang nazar aaega

tum kisi roz mere rang mein aao to sahi

taki phir raat ki taswir utari jae

in charaghon ko zara der bujhao to sahi

hausla hai to jazira bhi tumhaara hoga

KHauf ki kashtiyan sahil pe jalao to sahi

zindagi jism se bahar bhi nazar aae kabhi

koi hangama sar-e-rah uThao to sahi

meri miTTi mein mohabbat hi mohabbat hai 'nabil'

chhu ke dekho to sahi hath lagao to sahi
