log ladte rahe nam aae talab-garon mein
hum ki chup-chap khade the tere bimaron mein

zulm ke hum hain mukhalif magar ek din ke liye
shor har roz naya uthta hai akhbaron mein

aaj-kal shikwa-e-napaid hai jis ghairat ka
khub bikti hai mere shahr ke bazaron mein

fakhr kya kam hai ki nilami-e-yusuf mein 'naim'
tahi-daman the magar the to kharidaron mein
