kaun is rah se guzarta hai

dil yun hi intazar karta hai

dekh kar bhi na dekhne wale

dil tujhe dekh-dekh darta hai

shahr-e-gul main kati hai sari rat

dekhiye din kahan guzarta hai

dhyan ki siriyon pe pichle pahar

koi chup k se paon dharta hai

dil to mera udas hai ‘Nasir’

shahar kyon sayen-sayen karta hai
