gali gali aabaad thi jin se kahan gae wo log
galī galī ābād thī jin se kahāñ ga.e vo log
dillī ab ke aisī ujḌī ghar ghar phailā sog
saarā saarā din galiyoñ meñ phirte haiñ bekār
rātoñ uTh uTh kar rote haiñ is nagrī ke log
sahme sahme se baiThe haiñ raagī aur fankār
bhor bha.e ab in galiyoñ meñ kaun sunā.e jog
jab tak ham masrūf rahe ye duniyā thī sunsān
din Dhalte hī dhyān meñ aa.e kaise kaise log
'nāsir' ham ko raat milā thā tanhā aur udaas
vahī purānī bāteñ us kī vahī purānā rog
gali gali aabaad thi jin se kahan gae wo log
dilli ab ke aisi ujDi ghar ghar phaila sog
sara sara din galiyon mein phirte hain bekar
raaton uTh uTh kar rote hain is nagri ke log
sahme sahme se baiThe hain ragi aur fankar
bhor bhae ab in galiyon mein kaun sunae jog
jab tak hum masruf rahe ye duniya thi sunsan
din Dhalte hi dhyan mein aae kaise kaise log
'nasir' hum ko raat mila tha tanha aur udas
wahi purani baaten us ki wahi purana rog
