guftugu achchhi lagi zauq-e-nazar achchha laga
muddaton ke baad koi ham-safar achchha laga

dil ka dukh jaana to dil ka masala hai par hamein
us ka hans dena hamare haal par achchha laga

har tarah ki be-sar-o-samaniyon ke bawajud
aaj wo aaya to mujh ko apna ghar achchha laga

baghban gulchin ko chahe jo kahe hum ko to phul
shakh se badh kar kaf-e-dildar par achchha laga

koi maqtal mein na pahuncha kaun zalim tha jise
tegh-e-qatil se ziyaada apna sar achchha laga

hum bhi qael hain wafa mein ustuwari ke magar
koi puchhe kaun kis ko umr bhar achchha laga

apni apni chahaten hain log ab jo bhi kahen
ek pari-paikar ko ek aashufta-sar achchha laga

'mir' ke manind aksar zist karta tha 'faraaz'
tha to wo diwana sa shair magar achchha laga
