be-talluq zindagi achchhi nahin
zindagi kya maut bhi achchhi nahin

aaj bhi paya hai un ko bad-mizaj
surat-e-haalat abhi achchhi nahin

hasrat-e-dil dekh aankhon mein na baith
is qadar be-pardagi achchhi nahin

main na kahta tha dil-e-khana-kharab
dilbaron se dil-lagi achchhi nahin

sair kije husn ke bazar ki
han magar aawargi achchhi nahin

dil lagao to lagao dil se dil
dil-lagi hi dil-lagi achchhi nahin

ye hawa ye abr ye sabza 'hafiz'
aaj pine mein kami achchhi nahin
