har-chand jaisa socha tha waisa nahin hua
lekin kaha hua ka bhi pura nahin hua

tum ek gard-e-baad the chakra ke rah gae
hum se bhi par zat ka sahra nahin hua

khushbu kahin to phul hawa le udi kahin
yun muntashir kisi ka qabila nahin hua

sau waswason ki gard barasti rahi magar
dil aisa aaina tha ki maila nahin hua

patthar the hum so daulat-e-ehsas mil gai
lut kar bhi kar-e-dil mein khasara nahin hua

guzre dinon ka rup thi is rut ki dhup bhi
so is baras bhi gham ka mudawa nahin hua

logon pe khul chuke the madari ke gur 'najib'
so koi bhi asir-e-tamasha nahin hua
