Naye Kapre Badal Kar Jaun Kahan

---

naye kapre badal kar jaun kahan aur bal banaun kis k liye,
wo shakhs to shahar hi chor gaya ab khak uraun kis k liye,

jis dhup ki dil ko thandak thi wo dhup usi k sath gai,
in jalti bujhti galiyon main ab khak uraun kis k liye,

wo shahar main tha to us k liye auron se milna parta tha,
ab aise-waise logon k main naz uthaun kis k liye,

ab shahar main is ka badal hi nahi koi waisa jan-e-gazal hi nahi,
aiwan-e-gazal main lafzon k guldan sajaun kis k liye,

muddat se koi aya na gaya sunsan pari hai ghar ki faza,
in khali kamron main ?Nasir? ab shamma jalaun kis k liye.
