manzil ke us usul ko ruswa nahin kiya
manzil ke us usuul ko rusvā nahīñ kiyā
raste se lauTne kā irāda nahīñ kiyā
dil ko gudāz bhī rakhā to ehtiyāt se
kar to liyā yaqīn par itnā nahīñ kiyā
ham ko bhī phir umiid kuchh aisī nahīñ rahī
achchhā huā jo tū ne bhī va.ada nahīñ kiyā
fāqa-kashī meñ yuuñ to ka.ī rahm-dil mile
kaae hī ham ne apnā kushāda nahīñ kiyā
ye bhī to kam nahīñ hai kī ham ne koī gunāh
ik baar ho gayā to dobāra nahīñ kiyā
sahrā-navard kā hameñ raas aa gayā laqab
jab us ne apne naam ko dariyā nahīñ kiyā
bachchoñ muaaf karnā kī tum khaao baiTh kar
maiñ ne tumhāre vāste itnā nahīñ kiyā
tū hī batā maiñ kaise karūñ mutma.in tujhe
aisā nahīñ kiyā kabhī vaisā nahīñ kiyā
'nāyāb' tere sar kī qasam is jahān ne
karne ko ham se jo bhī kahā thā nahīñ kiyā
manzil ke us usul ko ruswa nahin kiya
raste se lauTne ka irada nahin kiya
dil ko gudaz bhi rakha to ehtiyat se
kar to liya yaqin par itna nahin kiya
hum ko bhi phir umid kuchh aisi nahin rahi
achchha hua jo tu ne bhi wada nahin kiya
faqa-kashi mein yun to kai rahm-dil mile
kae hi hum ne apna kushada nahin kiya
ye bhi to kam nahin hai ki hum ne koi gunah
ek bar ho gaya to dobara nahin kiya
sahra-naward ka hamein ras aa gaya laqab
jab us ne apne nam ko dariya nahin kiya
bachchon muaf karna ki tum khao baiTh kar
main ne tumhaare waste itna nahin kiya
tu hi bata main kaise karun mutmain tujhe
aisa nahin kiya kabhi waisa nahin kiya
'nayab' tere sar ki qasam is jahan ne
karne ko hum se jo bhi kaha tha nahin kiya
