Dil mein ik lehar si utti hai abhi
koi taaza hava chali hai abhi
kuch to nazuk mizaj hai ham bhi
aur yeh chor bhi naye hai abhi
shor barpa hai khana-e-dil main
koi divar si giri hai abhi
bhari duniya mein ji nahin lagta
jaane kis cheez ki kami hai abhi
tu sharuk-e-sukhan nahin hai to kya
ham-sukhan teri khamoshi hai abhi
yaad ke be-nishan jairon se
teri avaaz aa rehin hai abhi
shehar ki be-charagh galion mein
zindagi tujh ko dhundti hai abhi
so gaye log us haveli ke
ek khidki magar khuli hai abhi
tum to yaaro abhi se uth baithe
shehar mein raat jagti hai abhi
waqt acha bhi ayega 'nasir'
gham na kar zindagi padi hai abhi

Dil mein ik lehar si utti hai abhi
Dil mein ik lehar si utti

Gham-fursati -e-khawab-e-tarab yaad rehngi
guzri jo tere saath shab yaad rehngi
har-chand tera ahd-e-vafa bhool gaye ham
vo kashmakash-e-sabr-talab yaad rehngi
seene main umanghon ka wahi shor hai ab tak
vo shokhi-e-yak-jumbish-e-lab yaad rehngi
phir jis ke tasawar mein barasne lagen ankhen
woh barhaami-e-sohbat-shab yaad rehngi
go hijar ke lamhat bohat talk the lekin
har baat ba-unwan-e-tarab yaad rehngi

Gham-fursati -e-khawab-e-tarab yaad rehngi
Gham-fursati-e-khawab

Aj to be-sabab udas hai ji
ishq hota to koi bat bhi thi

jalta phirta hun kyun do-pahron main
jane kya chiz kho gai meri

wahin phirta hun main bhi khak ba-sar
is bhare shahar main hai ek gali

chupta phirta hai ishq duniya se
phailti ja rahi hai ruswai

hamnashin kya kahun k wo kya hai
chor ye bat nind urane lagi

aj to wo bhi kuch khamosh sa tha
main ne bhi us se koi bat na ki

ek dam us k hath chum liye
ye mujhe baithe baithe kya sujhi

tu jo itna udas hai 'Nasir'
tujhe kya ho gaya bata to sahi

Aj to be-sabab udas hai ji
Aj to be-sabab udaas hai ji

Safar E manzil E shab yaad nahiN
Log rukhsat hue kab yaad nahiN


Dil meN har waqt chubhan rahti thi
Thi mujhe kis ki talab yaad nahiN


Wo sitaara thi K shabnam thi K phul
Ek soorat thi ajab yaad nahiN


Aisa uljha huN gam E duniya meN
Ek bhi khaab E tarab yaad nahiN


Bhoolte jaate haiN maazi ke dayaar
Yaad aayeN bhi to sab yaad nahiN


Ye haqeeqat hai K ahbaab ko hum
Yaad hi kab thhay jo ab yaad nahiN


Yaad hai sair E charaaGhaaN ‘Nasir’
Dil ke bujhne ka sabab yaad nahiN

Safar E manzil E shab yaad nahiN
Safar e manzil e shab

Hoti hai tere naam se wehshat kabhi kabhi,
barham hui hai yun bhi tabiyat kabhi kabhi.

Aye dil kise naseeb ye taufeeq-e-iztiraab,
milti hai zindagi mein ye raahat kabhi kabhi.

Tere karam se hai aye alam-e-husn-aafreen,
dil ban gaya hai dost ki khalwat kabhi kabhi.

Dil ko kaha naseeb ye taufeeq-e-iztiraab
Milti hai zindagi main yeh raahat kabhi kabhi

Josh-e-junoon mein dard ki tughyaniyon ke saath,
ashkon mein dhal gayi teri soorat kabhi kabhi.

Tere qareeb reh ke bhi dil mutmain na tha,
guzri hai mujh pe ye bhi qayaamat kabhi kabhi.

Kuchh apna hosh tha na tumhara khyal tha,
yun bhi guzar gayi shab-e-furqat kabhi kabhi.

Aye dost hum ne tark-e-mohabbat ke bawajood,
mehsoos ki hai teri zaroorat kabhi kabhi. !!

 

Hoti hai tere naam se wehshat kabhi kabhi
Hoti hai tere naam se wehshat
Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya

Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya
Woh Teri Yaad Thi, Ab Yaad Aaya

Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya

Aaj Mushkil Tha Sambhalna Ae Dost
Tu Museebat Mai Ajab Yaad Aaya
Woh Teeri Yaad Thi, Ab Yaad Aaya
Dil Dhadhknay Ka Sabab Yaad Aaya

Din Guzara Tha Badhi Mushkil Se
Phir Tera Wadah E Sham Yaad Aaya
Woh Teri Yaad Thi Ab Yaad Aaya
Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya

Haal E Dil Hum Bhi Sunate Lekin
Jub Woh Rukhsat Huwa Tab Yaad Aaya
Woh Teri Yaad Thi Ab Yaad Aaya
Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya

Beht Ker Saya E Gul May Nasir
Hum Bohut Ro Aye Woh Jub Yaad Yaad Aaya
Woh Teri Yaad Thi Ab Yaad Aaya
Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya

Woh Teri Yaad Thi, Ab Yaad Aaya
Dil Dharakne Ka Sabab Yaad Aya

Dil Dharakne ka sabab
Be-karaan tanhaayion ka silsila reh jaaye ga

Be-karaan tanhaayion ka silsila reh jaaye ga
tere mere darmiyaan,bas ek khalaa re jaaye ga

Aks beh jaayein ge saaray dhoop ke sailaab main
aur koi paanion main jhaankta reh jaaye ga

Mujh ko mere hamsafar aisa safar darpaish hai
raasta kat bhee gaya toh faasla reh jaaye ga

Log so jaayein ge khamoshi ki chaadar orh kar
chaand soonay aanganon main jaagta reh jaaye ga

Jo kabhi uss ne parheen theen mujh se nasir maang kar
Naam mera un kitaabon mein likha reh jaaye ga


 

Be-karaan tanhaayion

dayar-e-dil ki rat main chirag sa jala gaya
mila nahi to kya hua wo shaql to dikha gaya

judaion k zakhm dard-e-zindagi ne bhar diye
tujhe bhi nind a gai mujhe bhi sabr a gaya

ye subah ki safediyan ye dopahar ki zardiyan
ab aine main dekhta hun main kahan chala gaya

pukarti hain fursaten kahan gai wo sohbaten
zamin nigal gai unhen ya asman kha gaya

wo dosti to khair ab nasib-e-dushmanan hui
wo choti choti ranjishon ka lutf bhi chala gaya

ye kis khushi ki ret par gamon ko nind a gai
wo lahar kis taraf gai ye main kahan sama gaya
gaye dinon ki lash par pare rahoge kab talak
utho amalkasho utho k afatab sar pe a gaya


 

dayar-e-dil ki rat main chirag sa jala gaya
Dayar e dil ki raat main
