dard par pyar aaya choT bhi achchhi lagi

dard par pyaar aaya choT bhī achchhī lagī

aaj pahlī baar mujh ko zindagī achchhī lagī

qahqaha kis ne lagāyā mere hāl-e-zār par

kis ko zer-e-dām merī bebasī achchhī lagī

ashk aisā jagmagāyā dīda-e-namnāk meñ

chāñd tāroñ ko bhī jis kī raushnī achchhī lagī

aaj phūloñ kā tabassum dil ko kuchh bhāyā nahīñ

ġhuncha-e-ma.asūm kī lab-bastagī achchhī lagī

merī shorīda-mizājī ko duā.eñ de ga.e

aql vāloñ ko mirī dīvāngī achchhī lagī

dard baḳhshā ġham diyā aañsū ināyat kar diye

mere mohsin ye tirī dariyā-dilī achchhī lagī

ho gayā barbād rusvā-e-zamāna ho gayā

phir bhī 'nādim' ko tirī fitna-girī achchhī lagī

dard par pyar aaya choT bhi achchhi lagi

aaj pahli bar mujh ko zindagi achchhi lagi

qahqaha kis ne lagaya mere haal-e-zar par

kis ko zer-e-dam meri bebasi achchhi lagi

ashk aisa jagmagaya dida-e-namnak mein

chand taron ko bhi jis ki raushni achchhi lagi

aaj phulon ka tabassum dil ko kuchh bhaya nahin

ghuncha-e-masum ki lab-bastagi achchhi lagi

meri shorida-mizaji ko duaen de gae

aql walon ko meri diwangi achchhi lagi

dard baKHsha gham diya aansu inayat kar diye

mere mohsin ye teri dariya-dili achchhi lagi

ho gaya barbaad ruswa-e-zamana ho gaya

phir bhi 'nadim' ko teri fitna-giri achchhi lagi
