hanste gate rote phul

hañste gaate rote phuul

jī meñ haiñ kaise kaise phuul

aur bahut kyā karne haiñ

kaafī haiñ ye thoḌe phuul

vaqt kī phulvārī meñ nahīñ

dāman meñ haiñ aise phuul

is dhartī kī raunaq haiñ

mere kāñTe tere phuul

kaise andhe haiñ vo haath

jin hāthoñ ne toḌe phuul

ek harī koñpal ke liye

maiñ ne chhoḌe kitne phuul

ūñche ūñche lambe peḌ

saade patte piile phuul

miTī kī ḳhushbū lene

nīl-gagan se utre phuul

chādar oḌh ke shabnam kī

āñkheñ malte nikle phuul

shaam huī ab galiyoñ meñ

dekho chalte-phirte phuul

suunā jism safed qamīs

gore haath sunahre phuul

kachchī 'umreñ kachchhe rang

hañsmukh bhole-bhāle phuul

aañkh aañkh meñ bhīgī niiñd

hoñT hoñT se jhaḌte phuul

gore gore nange pair

jhilmil jhilmil karte phuul

jaisā badan vaisā hī libās

jaisī miTTī vaise phuul

mahak uThī phir dil kī kitāb

yaad aa.e ye kab ke phuul

shaam ke taare tū hī batā

aaj kidhar se guzre phuul

kāñTe chhoḌ ga.ī āñdhī

le ga.ī achchhe achchhe phuul

dhyān meñ phirte haiñ 'nāsir'

achchhī āñkhoñ vaale phuul

hanste gate rote phul

ji mein hain kaise kaise phul

aur bahut kya karne hain

kafi hain ye thoDe phul

waqt ki phulwari mein nahin

daman mein hain aise phul

is dharti ki raunaq hain

mere kanTe tere phul

kaise andhe hain wo hath

jin hathon ne toDe phul

ek hari konpal ke liye

main ne chhoDe kitne phul

unche unche lambe peD

sade patte pile phul

miTi ki KHushbu lene

nil-gagan se utre phul

chadar oDh ke shabnam ki

aankhen malte nikle phul

sham hui ab galiyon mein

dekho chalte-phirte phul

suna jism safed qamis

gore hath sunahre phul

kachchi 'umren kachchhe rang

hansmukh bhole-bhaale phul

aankh aankh mein bhigi nind

honT honT se jhaDte phul

gore gore nange pair

jhilmil jhilmil karte phul

jaisa badan waisa hi libas

jaisi miTTi waise phul

mahak uThi phir dil ki kitab

yaad aae ye kab ke phul

sham ke tare tu hi bata

aaj kidhar se guzre phul

kanTe chhoD gai aandhi

le gai achchhe achchhe phul

dhyan mein phirte hain 'nasir'

achchhi aankhon wale phul
