mohabbat kam-nigahon ko nazar mein la nahin sakti
ye bijli har khas-o-khashak se takra nahin sakti

jo kahna hai kaho haq par kabhi aanch aa nahin sakti
koi taqat khulus-e-fikr ko jhutla nahin sakti

gira kar arsh se bhi husn-e-be-parwa ne dekha hai
koi aalam ho meri aadamiyyat ja nahin sakti

matanat aa chuki hai un ke lahje un ki baaton mein
wo chahen lakh chehre par matanat aa nahin sakti

na samjho dost ki had tak kamal apni mohabbat ka
abhi naqis hai dushman ko agar tadpa nahin sakti

gira hun rabb-e-qibla jab bhi thokar main ne khai hai
meri khuddari aisi waisi thokar kha nahin sakti

kabhi tir-e-nigah-e-naz khali ja nahin sakta
koi neki bhi aise waqt aade aa nahin sakti

nasheman mera rahne do chaman par aanch gar aai
nasheman hi pe aaegi chaman par aa nahin sakti

haqaeq hi rahenge 'najm' meri fikr ka hasil
khayal-o-khwab mein fikr-e-sukhan uljha nahin sakti
