ek to ishq ki taqsir kiye jata hun
us pe main pairwi-e-'mir' kiye jata hun

mazarat ghar ke charaghon se karunga kaise
main jo takhir pe takhir kiye jata hun

yani taswir-e-zaman par hai tasarruf itna
dekhta jata hun tahrir kiye jata hun

baghban tujh se to main dad-talab hun bhi nahin
ped sunte hain main taqrir kiye jata hun

ye ilaqa na ho dariya ki amal-dari mein
main jahan naw ko zanjir kiye jata hun

aakhirash khak uda kar sar-e-rahe dil ki
ek duniya ko main dil-gir kiye jata hun

us ki buniyaad mein ek kham-e-khayali hai 'naim'
shahr jo khwab mein tamir kiye jata hun
