bahut din se batana chahta hun
tumhein main ghaebana chahta hun

ba-zahir ruth jaana chahta hun
muqaddar aazmana chahta hun

tumhein fursat nahin hai lamha bhar ki
idhar main ek zamana chahta hun

mujhe bhi prem hai urdu se yaro
ghazal se aab-o-dana chahta hun

mujhe dar hai 'naim' is bar main bhi
talluq tajirana chahta hun
