jiwan mein dhundalka hi agar aae to achchha

jīvan meñ dhuñdalkā hī agar aa.e to achchhā

us ko to na aanā thā magar aa.e to achchhā

vaise to nazar aatī hai har aañkh meñ nafrat

vo pyaar ke darpan meñ nazar aa.e to achchhā

ik dard jo shiddat kī bulandī pe khaḌā hai

ehsās kī sīḌhī se utar aa.e to achchhā

mahloñ kā nazārā to ḳhayāloñ meñ basā hai

ik baar tasavvur meñ khañDar aa.e to achchhā

barsoñ se to vīrān mire dil kā nagar hai

bhūlī sī koī yaad idhar aa.e to achchhā

tum us ko ḳhatāvār samajhnā nahīñ 'nāzim'

gumrāh koī lauT ke ghar aa.e to achchhā

jiwan mein dhundalka hi agar aae to achchha

us ko to na aana tha magar aae to achchha

waise to nazar aati hai har aankh mein nafrat

wo pyar ke darpan mein nazar aae to achchha

ek dard jo shiddat ki bulandi pe khaDa hai

ehsas ki siDhi se utar aae to achchha

mahlon ka nazara to KHayalon mein basa hai

ek bar tasawwur mein khanDar aae to achchha

barson se to viran mere dil ka nagar hai

bhuli si koi yaad idhar aae to achchha

tum us ko KHatawar samajhna nahin 'nazim'

gumrah koi lauT ke ghar aae to achchha
