sach to ye hai ki use dhuup ne garmāyā thā
haañ vo paudā jo tirī chhāñv meñ kumhlāyā thā

raat kis ne mirī tanhā.ī ko mahkāyā thā
bū-e-gul aa.ī thī yā terā ḳhayāl aayā thā

dekhne vaale vo manzar nahīñ bhūle ab tak
maiñ kabhī aap kī āñkhoñ meñ nazar aayā thā

kitne qissoñ ko diyā janm tire ashkoñ ne
maiñ bahut ḳhush thā ki dāman mirā kaam aayā thā

kuchh ḳhayāl aayā sarāboñ meñ bhaTakne vaale
kis kī āvāz ne dariyā pe tujhe laayā thā

ab to behtar hai yahī kuchh bhī na yaad aa.e 'na.īm'
mausam-e-gul meñ kise khoyā thā kyā paayā thā

sach to ye hai ki use dhup ne garmaya tha
han wo pauda jo teri chhanw mein kumhlaya tha

raat kis ne meri tanhai ko mahkaya tha
bu-e-gul aai thi ya tera KHayal aaya tha

dekhne wale wo manzar nahin bhule ab tak
main kabhi aap ki aankhon mein nazar aaya tha

kitne qisson ko diya janm tere ashkon ne
main bahut KHush tha ki daman mera kaam aaya tha

kuchh KHayal aaya sarabon mein bhaTakne wale
kis ki aawaz ne dariya pe tujhe laya tha

ab to behtar hai yahi kuchh bhi na yaad aae 'naim'
mausam-e-gul mein kise khoya tha kya paya tha
