dil itni kashakash se nikal jae to achchha
ye phul kisi aag mein jal jae to achchha

mayub jo lahje hain wo matub na honge
apna hi ye andaz badal jae to achchha

insan ko insan hi kaha jae to behtar
tashbih-e-mah-o-mehr badal jae to achchha

be-nur sitaron ki gawahi ke bajae
mizhgan pe koi ashk machal jae to achchha

tarwij-e-mohabbat ke liye sher kahungi
ye rog har ek zat mein pal jae to achchha

farsuda-rawi aisi ki hum ne bhi ye socha
dil ku-e-malamat se nikal jae to achchha

jis ne kabhi milne ki bhi parwa nahin ki hai
us tak jo 'nasim' apni ghazal jae to achchha
