maut se zist ki takmil nahin ho sakti
raushni khak mein tahlil nahin ho sakti

mom ho jaun ki patthar se khuda ho jaun
kisi surat meri takmil nahin ho sakti

kis liye sans ki zanjir se bandha hai mujhe
aur kuchh surat-e-tazlil nahin ho sakti

kis liye zinda hun main kis ke liye zinda hun
jurm aisa hai ki tawil nahin ho sakti

in andheron mein lahu-rang saweron ki 'najib'
kya firozan koi qindil nahin ho sakti
