saza se bach ke kai bar shatiron ki tarah
sazā se bach ke ka.ī baar shātiroñ kī tarah
maiñ apne sāmne aayā huuñ mujrmoñ kī tarah
vo zaḳhm jin kā badan par nishāñ nahīñ paḌtā
vahī to khulte haiñ sapnoñ meñ rauzanoñ kī tarah
har ek moḌ pe tajdīd-e-ahd lāzim thā
vo shaḳhs thā koī pur-pech rāstoñ kī tarah
yahī ḳhayāl mujhe aa ke chīr-phāḌ gayā
mile haiñ dost bhī yūsuf ke bhā.iyoñ kī tarah
zamīn paañv tale hai na āsmāñ sar par
paḌe haiñ ghar meñ ka.ī log be-gharoñ kī tarah
gayā to kuchh na rahā mere paas jiine ko
ġhanīm thā vo jo aayā thā dostoñ kī tarah
ye aur baat ki zāhir meñ kuchh nahīñ lagte
buland-o-bālā haiñ kuchh log parbatoñ kī tarah
vo rāste jo tire saath chal ke tai hote
lipaT ga.e mire paañv meñ dā.eroñ kī tarah
palak jhapakne meñ ik umr kaT ga.ī 'najmī'
guzar ga.e haiñ ka.ī saal sā.atoñ kī tarah
saza se bach ke kai bar shatiron ki tarah
main apne samne aaya hun mujrmon ki tarah
wo zaKHm jin ka badan par nishan nahin paDta
wahi to khulte hain sapnon mein rauzanon ki tarah
har ek moD pe tajdid-e-ahd lazim tha
wo shaKHs tha koi pur-pech raston ki tarah
yahi KHayal mujhe aa ke chir-phaD gaya
mile hain dost bhi yusuf ke bhaiyon ki tarah
zamin panw tale hai na aasman sar par
paDe hain ghar mein kai log be-gharon ki tarah
gaya to kuchh na raha mere pas jine ko
ghanim tha wo jo aaya tha doston ki tarah
ye aur baat ki zahir mein kuchh nahin lagte
buland-o-baala hain kuchh log parbaton ki tarah
wo raste jo tere sath chal ke tai hote
lipaT gae mere panw mein daeron ki tarah
palak jhapakne mein ek umr kaT gai 'najmi'
guzar gae hain kai sal saaton ki tarah
