tera gham hai to ye jazbon ki rau mein bah nahin sakta
kisi ke haq mein mera dil ghalat kuchh kah nahin sakta

hawa achchhi hai us ki aur na pani us ka achchha hai
main is shahr-e-munafiq mein to ek din rah nahin sakta

ye shahr-e-dil nahin basti hai ye fatwa faroshon ki
yahan apne khuda ko main khuda bhi kah nahin sakta

zamin suraj ke chaaron-samt gardish ab bhi karti hai
ye sach hai phir bhi main apni zaban se kah nahin sakta

palat kar ik-na-ik din apni fitrat par wo aaega
wo kat kar apne mehwar se hamesha rah nahin sakta

main insan hun meri fitrat zamini hai miyan-'najmi'
bahut din tak sar-e-baam-e-falak main rah nahin sakta
