dekh kar hum ko asir-e-arzu
aur bhi wo ho gae begana-khu

phad dala dast-e-wahshat ne jise
phir karen kya is gareban ka rafu

phir sajao mahfil-e-dar-o-rasan
muztarib hai phir zaban-e-guftugu

gar ziyaada se ziyaada hon gunah
kam nahin hai aayat-e-la-taqnatu

mujh ko dar lagta hai apne shahr mein
hain bahut unche yahan ke kakh-o-ku

jab bhi rut aati hai patjhad ki yahan
chus leti hai bahaaron ka lahu

rah ke 'najmi' ne pas-e-parda yahan
kar diya hai sab ko mahw-e-justuju
