honkte dasht mein ek gham ka samundar dekho

hoñkte dasht meñ ik ġham kā samundar dekho

tum kisī roz agar dil meñ utar kar dekho

niklo saḌkoñ pe to hañstī huī lāshoñ se milo

band āñkheñ jo karo qatl kā manzar dekho

aañch qurbat kī na pighlā de kahīñ tār-e-nazar

shola-e-husn ko kuchh duur se bach kar dekho

ye to kahte ho ki ḳhud maiñ ne kaTā.ī gardan

koī hāthoñ meñ havā ke bhī to ḳhanjar dekho

āstīneñ to kahīñ chupke se dho lo yaaro

ho kisī ko na shubah qatl kā tum par dekho

dar o dīvār se uThte haiñ ye shole kaise

dosto chal ke zarā ghar ke to andar dekho

haDDiyāñ gal chukīñ ab to na ukheḌo un ko

DhūñD leñ phir ye nayā koī na paikar dekho

maiñ bhī is safha-e-hastī pe ubhar saktā huuñ

rañg to tum mirī tasvīr meñ bhar kar dekho

ab to khiltī huī kaliyoñ meñ na DhūñDo mujh ko

raakh hote hue ik shole kā manzar dekho

pheñk do TuuTī ummīdoñ ke ye TukḌe bāhar

dil meñ rah jaa.e kirich koī na gaḌ kar dekho

liye ā.īna vafāoñ kā kahāñ phirte ho

hoñ na hāthoñ meñ kahīñ andhoñ ke patthar dekho

ek muddat se hai logoñ ko 'na.īmī' kī talāsh

qasr-e-tanhā.ī kī dīvāreñ girā kar dekho

honkte dasht mein ek gham ka samundar dekho

tum kisi roz agar dil mein utar kar dekho

niklo saDkon pe to hansti hui lashon se milo

band aankhen jo karo qatl ka manzar dekho

aanch qurbat ki na pighla de kahin tar-e-nazar

shola-e-husn ko kuchh dur se bach kar dekho

ye to kahte ho ki KHud main ne kaTai gardan

koi hathon mein hawa ke bhi to KHanjar dekho

aastinen to kahin chupke se dho lo yaro

ho kisi ko na shubah qatl ka tum par dekho

dar o diwar se uThte hain ye shole kaise

dosto chal ke zara ghar ke to andar dekho

haDDiyan gal chukin ab to na ukheDo un ko

DhunD len phir ye naya koi na paikar dekho

main bhi is safha-e-hasti pe ubhar sakta hun

rang to tum meri taswir mein bhar kar dekho

ab to khilti hui kaliyon mein na DhunDo mujh ko

rakh hote hue ek shole ka manzar dekho

phenk do TuTi ummidon ke ye TukDe bahar

dil mein rah jae kirich koi na gaD kar dekho

liye aaina wafaon ka kahan phirte ho

hon na hathon mein kahin andhon ke patthar dekho

ek muddat se hai logon ko 'naimi' ki talash

qasr-e-tanhai ki diwaren gira kar dekho
