nae mizaj ki tashkil karna chahte hain
hum apne aap ko tabdil karna chahte hain

qubul tark-e-talluq nahin hai lekin hum
tumhaare hukm ki tamil karna chahte hain

ghamon ke fil na dha den kahin ye kaba-e-dil
so hum dua-e-ababil karna chahte hain

hamare jalne se milti hai raushni tum ko
to raushan ab yahi qindil karna chahte hain

jab un ki koi bhi tabir pa nahin sakte
hawa mein khwabon ko tahlil karna chahte hain

kitab-e-zist mein mushkil hai bab-e-ishq 'nadim'
hum aise bab ki takmil karna chahte hain
