jafa wo karte rahe aise bewafa ki tarah
gila bhi kar na saka main kabhi gila ki tarah

wo sang-dil hai sitamgar hai be-murawwat hai
jo gham ka haal sune sirf waqia ki tarah

kisi ke bachne ka imkan nazar nahin aata
faza mein zahr hai phaila hua hawa ki tarah

main shayad ub chuka hun hayat se apni
mujhe hayat bhi lagti hai ab qaza ki tarah

kisi ko das len to pani na pi sake yaro
hain aise log yahan nag dewta ki tarah

wo apna jurm chhupane ko shimr ban baithe
hamara shahr bhi lagta hai karbala ki tarah

tumhaara husn-o-shabab in dinon maaz-allah
nazar jamaun to chhane lage nasha ki tarah

chaman ko phul to phulon ko chahiye khushbu
har ek shai hai yahan dosto gada ki tarah

'naqib' ab koi pahchan hi nahin apni
yahan to chha gai tahzib-e-nau bala ki tarah
