ishq ki KHubi kahun kya aashna

ishq kī ḳhūbī kahūñ kyā āshnā

jaan kā dushman hai dil kā āshnā

bahr-e-ulfat se kināra ḳhuub hai

khā gayā ġhota to Duubā āshnā

roz-e-bad se Dar ki ho jaate haiñ phir

dost dushman āshnā nā-āshnā

dahr meñ kamyāb kyā nāyāb haiñ

kīmiyā darvesh sachchā āshnā

shāġhlān-e-ishq kā ye dard hai

yā muhib yā mehrbān yā āshnā

paak ulfat ho to phir kyā ai raqīb

āshnā hai āshnā kā āshnā

do samajhnā saaf hai be-vahdatī

ek hī begāna ho yā āshnā

ham to dil se nek samjhe haiñ tumheñ

tum burā kahte ho achchhā āshnā

dil jale kyā kyā nahīñ kahte tumheñ

be-muravvat bevafā nā-āshnā

aao jī dil khol kar mil lījiye

zindagī kā kyā bharosā āshnā

qulzum-e-ishq ek tūfāñ-ḳhez hai

Duube is dariyā meñ sad.hā-āshnā

kahiye to kah duuñ hazāroñ meñ ye baat

hai 'nasīm' ik gul-badan kā āshnā

ishq ki KHubi kahun kya aashna

jaan ka dushman hai dil ka aashna

bahr-e-ulfat se kinara KHub hai

kha gaya ghota to Duba aashna

roz-e-bad se Dar ki ho jate hain phir

dost dushman aashna na-ashna

dahr mein kamyab kya nayab hain

kimiya darwesh sachcha aashna

shaghlan-e-ishq ka ye dard hai

ya muhib ya mehrban ya aashna

pak ulfat ho to phir kya ai raqib

aashna hai aashna ka aashna

do samajhna saf hai be-wahdati

ek hi begana ho ya aashna

hum to dil se nek samjhe hain tumhein

tum bura kahte ho achchha aashna

dil jale kya kya nahin kahte tumhein

be-murawwat bewafa na-ashna

aao ji dil khol kar mil lijiye

zindagi ka kya bharosa aashna

qulzum-e-ishq ek tufan-KHez hai

Dube is dariya mein sadha-ashna

kahiye to kah dun hazaron mein ye baat

hai 'nasim' ek gul-badan ka aashna
