jab main na hun to shahr mein mujh sa koi to ho
jab maiñ na huuñ to shahr meñ mujh sā koī to ho
dīvār-e-zindagī meñ darīcha koī to ho
ik pal kisī daraḳht ke saa.e meñ saañs le
saare nagar meñ jānñe vaalā koī to ho
dekhe ajiib rañg meñ tanhā har ek zaat
in gahre pāniyoñ meñ utartā koī to ho
DhūñDoge jis ko dil se vo mil jā.egā zarūr
ā.eñge log aap tamāshā koī to ho
phir koī shakl baam pe aa.e nazar kahīñ
phir rahguzr-e-ām meñ rusvā koī to ho
koī to ārzū-e-farozāñ sambhāl rakh
haañ apne sar pe qarz-e-tamannā koī to ho
har-dam ilāj-e-mehr-o-vafā DhūñDte raho
is tīrgī meñ ghar kā ujālā koī to ho
'nāhīd' bandishoñ meñ muqayyad hai zindagī
jaa.eñ hazār baar bulāvā koī to ho
jab main na hun to shahr mein mujh sa koi to ho
diwar-e-zindagi mein daricha koi to ho
ek pal kisi daraKHt ke sae mein sans le
sare nagar mein jaanne wala koi to ho
dekhe ajib rang mein tanha har ek zat
in gahre paniyon mein utarta koi to ho
DhunDoge jis ko dil se wo mil jaega zarur
aaenge log aap tamasha koi to ho
phir koi shakl baam pe aae nazar kahin
phir rahguzr-e-am mein ruswa koi to ho
koi to aarzu-e-farozan sambhaal rakh
han apne sar pe qarz-e-tamanna koi to ho
har-dam ilaj-e-mehr-o-wafa DhunDte raho
is tirgi mein ghar ka ujala koi to ho
'nahid' bandishon mein muqayyad hai zindagi
jaen hazar bar bulawa koi to ho
