raat guzri ki shab-e-wasl ka paigham mila
so gae khwab ki banhon mein jo aaram mila

dhundte rahiye shab-o-roz umidon ke qadam
kucha-e-zist mein le de ke yahi kaam mila

khubi-e-bakht ki jab bhul chuka tha sab kuchh
bewafai ka lab-e-ghair se ilzam mila

pa-piyaada tha magar rah mein wo dhum machi
jhuk ke tazim se shahzada-e-ayyam mila

hum ne bechi nahin jis roz mata-e-ghairat
ek piyala bhi na mai ka hamein us sham mila

mukhtasar ye hai ki jab waqt-e-wida-e-gul tha
khwab mein aa ke gale mujh se wo gulfam mila

hum junun hai ki nahin rah mein puchhenge 'naim'
dasht-e-ghurbat mein ye kya kam hai ki hamnam mila
