zindagi ke nam par dhoka hua achchha hua
jo hua jo bhi hua jaisa hua achchha hua

kha raha tha dhire dhire ye sukut-e-jaan mujhe
mahshar-e-jaan ja-ba-ja barpa hua achchha hua

ho ke baghi aankh se aansu gira rukhsar par
sohbat-e-hijran wahi dariya hua achchha hua

le rahi thi siskiyan qirtas par tahrir-e-jaan
zaiqa tahrir ka kadwa hua achchha hua

ungliyan uthne lagin thin hasrat-e-be-nam par
hasraton ka aks ab dhundla hua achchha hua

thi mazar-e-ishq par minnat ki chadar ki tarah
zindagi tera yahan sauda hua achchha hua

jis mohabbat ke liye duniya ko thokar mar di
aaj us ke nam par ruswa hua achchha hua

kab talak rahta salamat mukhlisi ka pairahan
gardishon ke hath ye mela hua achchha hua

hosh mein rahte hue madhosh tha socha nahin
rah gaya main ja-ba-ja bikhra hua achchha hua

kah gai mauj-e-'nasimi' dekh kar chehra mera
ho gaya dar-o-rasan likkha hua achchha hua
