jo khwab mein hua tha waqai na ho
ki main pukarta rahun koi na ho

charagh be-sabab to ro nahin rahe
jo shab guzar rahi hai aakhiri na ho

jise sukut-e-marg ka nishan kahen
ye khamushi kahin wo khamushi na ho

padi hui hai gard si jo waqt par
ye chashm-e-khwab-zad se giri na ho

mujhe ye hukm bhi suna diya gaya
ki naw mein mere siwa koi na ho

yaqin bhari-bahaar ka bhi kuchh nahin
agar ye shakh-e-dard hi hari na ho

mera moamla 'naim' aur hai
agar teri nazar mein sarsari na ho
