agar shane pe din ke raat ka parcham nahin hota
ye aalam kuchh bhi hota khushnuma aalam nahin hota

kisi surat tapakta zakhm dil ka kam nahin hota
ye zakhm-e-dil hai ye minnat-kash-e-marham nahin hota

masarrat se masarrat aur gham se gham nahin hota
ajab hota hai aalam jab koi aalam nahin hota

bharosa nakhuda pe karne wala dub jata hai
pukare jo khuda ko gharq-e-mauj-e-yam nahin hota

shahadat pai hai dil ne fida-e-gul-rukhan ho kar
shahidon ka hamare din mein matam nahin hota

zahe-qismat ki aaghosh-e-haram hai aur hum warna
gunahon ka sila to saghar-e-zamzam nahin hota

'naim' apna liya hai hum ne gham sare zamane ka
ki jab had se guzar jata hai gham phir gham nahin hota
