'iqbaal' ki navaa se musharraf hai go 'naim' — Hasan Naim

kuchh usulon kaa nasha thaa kuchh muqaddas khvaab the
har zamaane mein shahaadat ke yahi asbaab the

gham se bikhraa na paaemaal huaa
main to gham se hi be-misaal huaa

jo bhi kahnaa hai kaho saaf shikaayat hi sahi
in ishaaraat-o-kinaayaat se ji Dartaa hai

gard-e-shohrat ko bhi daaman se lipaTne na diyaa
koi ehsaan zamaane kaa uThaayaa hi nahin

saraa-e-dil mein jagah de to kaaT luun ik raat
nahin hai shart ki mujh ko sharik-e-khvaab banaa

kam nahin ai dil-e-betaab mataa-e-ummid
dast-e-mai-khvaar mein khaali hi sahi jaam to hai
