ghair ka wo ho gaya achchha hua
apne haq mein jo hua achchha hua

ishq ka charcha hua achchha hua
husn bhi mauzua bana achchha hua

hum kisi ki chah mein jaan se gae
aur raqibon ne kaha achchha hua

jab zulekha misr mein ruswa hui
kah utha har dil-jala achchha hua

us se ummid-e-wafa kab thi hamein
ho gaya wo bewafa achchha hua

kar ke wo aaraish-e-husn-o-jamal
aur bhi kafir-ada achchha hua

hum jo us ki chah mein ruswa hue
us ne bhi jal kar kaha achchha hua

hijr ki lazzat se waqif ho gae
hum se us ka ruthna achchha hua

wo meri mayyat pe roya phut kar
us ki yun tuti ana achchha hua

khwab-e-ghaflat se to hum jage 'zafar'
aashiyana jal gaya achchha hua
