dil dhaDkanon mein jaise dhaDakta usi ka tha
dil dhaḌkanoñ meñ jaise dhaḌaktā usī kā thā
jaise mire vajūd pe chehra usī kā thā
rakhā huā thā jis ko zamāne se duur duur
har lab pe us kā tazkira charchā usī kā thā
aane diyā na chain kabhī ek pal mujhe
mere tasavvurāt meñ dhaḌkā usī kā thā
jis ne tamām shahr khañDar meñ badal diyā
sikka tamām shahr meñ chaltā usī kā thā
yuuñ to hazār zaḳhm mujhe aur bhī lage
lekin jo zaḳhm sab se thā gahrā usī kā thā
shiddat kī pyaas ne mujhe gherā to ye khulā
sahrā kā jo makīn thā dariyā usī kā thā
ham ko hai aaj tak usī ta.abīr kī talab
aayā thā kal 'nabīl' jo sapnā usī kā thā
raushan thā jis charāġh kī lau se badan 'nabīl'
mujh ko tamām-umr hī dhaḌkā usī kā thā
dil dhaDkanon mein jaise dhaDakta usi ka tha
jaise mere wajud pe chehra usi ka tha
rakha hua tha jis ko zamane se dur dur
har lab pe us ka tazkira charcha usi ka tha
aane diya na chain kabhi ek pal mujhe
mere tasawwuraat mein dhaDka usi ka tha
jis ne tamam shahr khanDar mein badal diya
sikka tamam shahr mein chalta usi ka tha
yun to hazar zaKHm mujhe aur bhi lage
lekin jo zaKHm sab se tha gahra usi ka tha
shiddat ki pyas ne mujhe ghera to ye khula
sahra ka jo makin tha dariya usi ka tha
hum ko hai aaj tak usi tabir ki talab
aaya tha kal 'nabil' jo sapna usi ka tha
raushan tha jis charagh ki lau se badan 'nabil'
mujh ko tamam-umr hi dhaDka usi ka tha
