mere pahlū meñ hamesha rahī sūrat achchhī

maiñ bhī achchhā mirī qismat bhī nihāyat achchhī

mere pahlu mein hamesha rahi surat achchhi

main bhi achchha meri qismat bhi nihayat achchhi

aap ki shakl bhali aap ki surat achchhi

aap ke taur bure aap se nafrat achchhi

hashr ke din hamein sujhi ye shararat achchhi

le chale KHuld mein hum dekh ke surat achchhi

tujh se kahta tha koi ya teri taswir se aaj

aankhen achchhi teri aankhon ki murawwat achchhi

hum ne sau bar shab-e-wasl mila kar dekha

ai falak chand se wo chand se surat achchhi

na bane kaam to kis kaam ki nazuk shaklen

un ke Thokar se jo uTThe wo qayamat achchhi

jaur tere bahut achchhe sitam-e-gardun se

aur un se teri aankhon ki nadamat achchhi

munh mein jab baat ruki chum liya pyar se munh

dam-e-taqrir kisi shoKH ki luknat achchhi

dekhte hi kisi kafir ko bigaD jati hai

main jo chahun bhi to rahti nahin niyyat achchhi

husn-e-surat ki tarah husn-e-suKHan hai kam-yab

ek hoti hai hazaron mein tabiat achchhi

tujh se jalta hai jo wo aur jalate hain use

mere haq mein mere dushman ki adawat achchhi

aate jate nazar aati hai jhalak chilman se

parde parde mein nikal aai ye surat achchhi

KHugar-e-gham ke liye kuchh bhi nahin aish ka KHwab

aisi rahat se hamesha ki musibat achchhi

de ke wo bosa-e-lab shauq se len dil mera

uzr kya hai jo mile mal ki qimat achchhi

sun ke ashaar mere sab yahi kahte hain 'riyaz'

is ki qismat hai buri aur tabiat achchhi
