paikar-e-naz pe jab mauj-e-haya chalti thi
qarya-e-jaan mein mohabbat ki hawa chalti thi

un ke kuche se guzarta tha uthae hue sar
jazba-e-ishq ke hamrah ana chalti thi

ek zamana bhi chala sath to aage aage
gard udati hui ek mauj-e-bala chalti thi

parda-e-fikr pe har aan chamakte the nujum
farsh ta arsh koi mah-liqa chalti thi

main hi tanha na kharabon se guzarta tha 'naim'
sham ta subh sitaron ki ziya chalti thi
