nigah rakh di zaban rakh di mataa-e-qalb-o-jaan rakh di
mita kar apni hasti pesh-e-sang-e-astan rakh di

guman guzra tere naqsh-e-kaf-e-pa ka jahan rakh di
nahin ye hosh hum ko hum ne peshani kahan rakh di

banaya aur dil mein joshish-e-atish-fashan rakh di
ghazab ki ek musht-e-khak zer-e-asman rakh di

wo ab apna kahen ya ghair zarf-e-ahl-e-gulshan hai
hamein ye fakhr kya kam hai bina-e-gulsitan rakh di

mere sine mein ya-rab ye dil-e-betab kya kam tha
jo is mein ek-tarfa khwahish-e-did-e-butan rakh di

bada hi bol-baala tha magar hum ahl-e-wahshat ne
uda kar ek hi thokar mein gard-e-asman rakh di

huzur-e-dost kab thi jurat-e-arz-e-sukhan dil ko
bayan kar ke nigah-e-shauq ne sab dastan rakh di

tamashai banane ke liye aankhen ata ki hain
sana-khwan ban ke rahne ke liye munh mein zaban rakh di

zaban urdu bayan dil-ju aur andaz-e-ghazal khushbu
zamin-e-sher mein kaifiyyat-e-bagh-e-jinan rakh di

mubarak ye ghazal kah kar 'naim' apne liye tum ne
jahan-e-sher mein buniyaad-e-qasr-e-jawedan rakh di
