dil ko har gam pe dhadke se lage rahte hain
tujh ko kho dene ke khadshe se lage rahte hain

sar to kat jate hain jismon se magar sadiyon tak
khak par khun ke dhabbe se lage rahte hain

jhad ponchh ek mere kaam nahin aa pai
dar-o-diwar pe jale se lage rahte hain

pyas udti hai lab-e-hijr pe manind-e-ghubar
wasl ki jhil pe pahre se lage rahte hain

dasht se shahr mein tanhai ke dar le aae
shahr mein bhi yahi khatke se lage rahte hain

khwab jo dekha nahin hum ne sar-e-khwab 'najib'
is ki tabir ke dhadke se lage rahte hain
