ishq ko pas-e-wafa aaj bhi karte dekha
ek patthar ke liye ji se guzarte dekha

past ghaaron ke andheron mein jo le jati hain
wo udanen bhi to insan ko bharte dekha

jabhi lai hai saba mausam-e-gul ki aahat
barg afsurda hue shakhon ko darte dekha

teri dahliz pe gardish ka guzar kya mani
tujh ko jab dekha hai kuchh bante sanwarte dekha

be-sada hi sahi par sang-e-sifat hain lamhe
un ki aaghosh mein har shai ko bikharte dekha

jo bhi biti sar-e-farhad pe biti 'najmi'
kisi 'parwez' ko teshe se na marte dekha
