Ek waada ke hum nibhaa na sakay
Adhooray us khwaab ko bhula na sakay
Maqbaray bana deye dil per patthar ke par
Armanoon ki qabar mein muhabbat dafna na sakay
Logoon ki khushiyoon ke leye saja leen muskurahattain
Par kabhi dil se muskura na sakay
Apni lagaee aag mein yun hi jaltay rahay
Barastay ashkoon se bhi jissay bhuja na sakay
Ourrh li chaadar jhooti khushiyoon ki
Per chehra shanasoon se kuch chuppa na sakay
Yun tu keen kooshishain bhi bahut ‘Nusrat’
Wakt marham bana per nishaan mita na sakay…
