ek aisa zindagi ka zabta tashkil kar aaya

ik aisā zindagī kā zābta tashkīl kar aayā

jo sang-e-zāt thā maiñ us ko sang-e-mīl kar aayā

na harf-o-lafz hī rakkhe na hai saut-o-sadā un meñ

bas ik saade varaq par zindagī tahlīl kar aayā

masīhā.ī ke charche hashr tak yuuñ hī mire hoñge

sadā-e-qum-ba-iznillāh ko injīl kar aayā

jo terī baat thī mālik bayāñ kar dī zamāne se

jo terā hukm thā us hukm kī ta.amīl kar aayā

mirā har sher 'nāshir' zindagī kā tarjuma Thahrā

suḳhan meñ Dhaal kar qisse ko bā-tafsīl kar aayā

ek aisa zindagi ka zabta tashkil kar aaya

jo sang-e-zat tha main us ko sang-e-mil kar aaya

na harf-o-lafz hi rakkhe na hai saut-o-sada un mein

bas ek sade waraq par zindagi tahlil kar aaya

masihai ke charche hashr tak yun hi mere honge

sada-e-qum-ba-iznillah ko injil kar aaya

jo teri baat thi malik bayan kar di zamane se

jo tera hukm tha us hukm ki tamil kar aaya

mera har sher 'nashir' zindagi ka tarjuma Thahra

suKHan mein Dhaal kar qisse ko ba-tafsil kar aaya
