naw khasta bhi na thi mauj mein dariya bhi na tha
par utarta tha magar tujh pe bharosa bhi na tha

zindagi hath na de pai mere hathon mein
sath jaana bhi na tha hath chhudana bhi na tha

jin pe ek umr chala tha unhi raston pe kahin
wapas aaya to mera naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa bhi na tha

gharq-e-duniya ke liye dast-e-dua kya uthte
koi is ghar mein dua mangne wala bhi na tha

har koi mera kharidar nazar aaya mujhe
chaak par main ne abhi khud ko ubhaara bhi na tha

phailta jata hai har sans rag o pai mein 'najib'
ek sahra jo abhi rah mein aaya bhi na tha
