shaam achchhī hai na sahar achchhī
yaar bhejo koī ḳhabar achchhī
ḳhuub paa.ī hai ye nazar achchhī
is taraf hai burī udhar achchhī
hai ye tasvīr kitne chehroñ kī
kahīñ āñkheñ kahīñ kamar achchhī
ab kahīñ bhī nazar nahīñ aatī
vo jo thī ek rahguzar achchhī
kis taraf jaa.e aadmī āḳhir
hai fazā dasht meñ kidhar achchhī
is meñ achchhā hai kyā pata 'nāzim'
mujh ko lagtī hai vo magar achchhī
