gaya wo khwab-e-haqiqat ko ru-ba-ru kar ke
bahut udas hun main un se guftugu kar ke

abhi na chhod qaba-e-umid ka daman
abhi to zakhm chhupa chaak-e-dil rafu kar ke

karo na dafn ki maqtal ka nam uncha ho
lita do khak pe lashe ko qibla-ru kar ke

unhin mein mah-sifat bhi hain mehr-asa bhi
mile hain dagh kai un ki aarzu kar ke

utho 'naim' ki bagh-e-adam se ho aaen
wahin gae hain 'tapish' dil ko yun lahu kar ke
