koi mauzu ho tera hawala achchha lagta hai

koi mauzu' ho tera hawala achchha lagta hai
phir us ke ba'd har chup rahne wala achchha lagta hai
ek aisi be-natija jang lad kar aa raha hun main
ki ab shamshir se badh kar piyala achchha lagta hai


bahut aaraish-e-khana ke mansube banata hun
magar kamre ki chhat par ek jala achchha lagta hai
mujhe achchha nahin lagta zaban ko band kar lena
magar bachchon ke hathon mein niwala achchha lagta hai


kabhi dil shad rahta hai kisi ke milte rahne se
kabhi koi bichhad kar jaane wala achchha lagta hai
'anasir se alag kar ke main tujh ko dekhna chahun
tere hamrah sab kuchh la-muhaala achchha lagta hai


isi ek baat par hai ittifaq-o-ikhtilaf us se
use aaina aur mujh ko piyala achchha lagta hai
wo koi aur hai hum mein se hargiz ho nahin sakta
jise is ghar se bahar ka ujala achchha lagta hai
