dukh ki lahar ne chheDa hoga

dukh kī lahar ne chheḌā hogā

yaad ne kañkar pheñkā hogā

aaj to merā dil kahtā hai

tū is vaqt akelā hogā

mere chūme hue hāthoñ se

auroñ ko ḳhat likhtā hogā

bhiig chalīñ ab raat kī palkeñ

tū ab thak kar soyā hogā

rail kī gahrī siiTī sun kar

raat kā jañgal gūñjā hogā

shahr ke ḳhālī station par

koī musāfir utrā hogā

āñgan meñ phir chiḌiyāñ bolīñ

tū ab so kar uTThā hogā

yādoñ kī jaltī shabnam se

phuul sā mukhḌā dhoyā hogā

motī jaisī shakl banā kar

ā.īne ko taktā hogā

shaam huī ab tū bhī shāyad

apne ghar ko lauTā hogā

niilī dhuñdlī ḳhāmoshī meñ

tāroñ kī dhun suntā hogā

merā sāthī shaam kā taarā

tujh se aañkh milātā hogā

shaam ke chalte haath ne tujh ko

merā salām to bhejā hogā

pyāsī kurlātī kūñjoñ ne

merā dukh to sunāyā hogā

maiñ to aaj bahut royā huuñ

tū bhī shāyad royā hogā

'nāsir' terā miit purānā

tujh ko yaad to aatā hogā

dukh ki lahar ne chheDa hoga

yaad ne kankar phenka hoga

aaj to mera dil kahta hai

tu is waqt akela hoga

mere chume hue hathon se

auron ko KHat likhta hoga

bhig chalin ab raat ki palken

tu ab thak kar soya hoga

rail ki gahri siTi sun kar

raat ka jangal gunja hoga

shahr ke KHali station par

koi musafir utra hoga

aangan mein phir chiDiyan bolin

tu ab so kar uTTha hoga

yaadon ki jalti shabnam se

phul sa mukhDa dhoya hoga

moti jaisi shakl bana kar

aaine ko takta hoga

sham hui ab tu bhi shayad

apne ghar ko lauTa hoga

nili dhundli KHamoshi mein

taron ki dhun sunta hoga

mera sathi sham ka tara

tujh se aankh milata hoga

sham ke chalte hath ne tujh ko

mera salam to bheja hoga

pyasi kurlati kunjon ne

mera dukh to sunaya hoga

main to aaj bahut roya hun

tu bhi shayad roya hoga

'nasir' tera mit purana

tujh ko yaad to aata hoga
