hamein to ishq mein sab kaam achchhe lag rahe the
yahan tak ki sabhi ilzam achchhe lag rahe the

sunae ja rahe the ishq-e-shorida ke qisse
hamein qisse nahin anjam achchhe lag rahe the

yaqin ki manzilon se go ki aage ja rahe the
pas-e-manzar magar auham achchhe lag rahe the

shab-e-tarik mein shab-tab anjum aasman pe
ye donon barsar-e-paigham achchhe lag rahe the

niko-kari ka dushnami sila hai kya gila hai
ki hum badnam hain badnam achchhe lag rahe the

raqiban khush the sher-e-shokh ke tewar pe hum bhi
ki un sheron ke sab iham achchhe lag rahe the

miyan majnun bhi gum the najd ki uryaniyon mein
pe hum sahra mein ba-ehram achchhe lag rahe the

namaz-e-ishq ada karne ki koi ja nahin thi
so ye sajde hamein har-gam achchhe lag rahe the

wo waslat bhi koi waslat ki jaan aasuda-khatir
firaqon mein 'anis'-e-kham achchhe lag rahe the
