baad muddat ke hijr sa dena
mere hathon mein aaina dena

achchha lagta hai is zamane ko
baad marne ke but bana dena

ji ye tauhin hai charaghon ki
raat baqi ho aur bujha dena

canwas par bahaar utregi
aap kuchh titliyan bana dena

mashwara hai ki hum jiye jaen
kitna aasan hai mashwara dena

zindagi 'najm' khwab jaisi hai
lutf aane lage jaga dena
