maanā ki ham is daur kā hāsil to nahīñ the
nā-qadrī-e-duniyā ke bhī qābil to nahīñ the
aatā to sahī bād-e-sahar kā koī jhoñkā
ham ḳhaas kisī phuul pe maa.il to nahīñ the
har shaḳhs ne naqsh-e-kaf-e-pā ham ko banāyā
har shaḳhs kī ham raah meñ haa.il to nahīñ the
do ghūñT hī pī lete agar koī pilātā
ham rind-e-ḳhush-auqāt the saa.il to nahīñ the
kyā baat hai 'nūrī' jo hai ab lahje meñ narmī
tum narmī-e-guftār ke qātil to nahīñ the
