jo bhi sukhe gul kitabon mein mile achchhe lage
hon wo lamhe ya bashar chhute hue achchhe lage

barg-o-gul pe to hamein shabnam badi achchhi lagi
ashk lekin kab tere rukhsar pe achchhe lage

dilkashi thi unsiyat thi ya mohabbat ya junun
sab marahil tujh se jo mansub the achchhe lage

kaghzi kashti ka rishta khub hai 'alok' se
jhuthe jitne bhi the wade aap ke achchhe lage
