jab ki mazi se bahut past bhi haal achchha hai

jab ki maazī se bahut past bhī haal achchhā hai

phir to mustaqbil-e-rañgīñ kā ḳhayāl achchhā hai

jis kā jo zauq ho us ko vahī aatā hai pasand

maiñ to kahtā huuñ ki donoñ kā ḳhayāl achchhā hai

kuchh election meñ to kuchh naam pe 'ġhālib' ke kamāo

ik barahman ne kahā hai ki ye saal achchhā hai

chāra-gar kahte haiñ bas maut kī baaqī hai kasar

aur har tarah se bīmār kā haal achchhā hai

nahīñ ma.alūm agar saañp kā mantar to na phañs

haath us saañp kī bāñbī meñ na Daal achchhā hai

jo bhī hāregā vahī gāliyāñ degā us ko

jis barahman ne kahā hai ki ye saal achchhā hai

DhūñDiye ḳhair se jā kar koī moTī sasurāl

haath jo muft meñ aa.e to vo maal achchhā hai

bain hī bain guzarte raho is vaadī se

na harām achchhā hai bilkul na halāl achchhā hai

ek ham the jo siyāsat meñ kamā paa.e na kuchh

varna maazī ke faqīroñ kā bhī haal achchhā hai

jitne haiñ dahr meñ hāthoñ kī safā.ī ke kamāl

sab se ai dost girah-kaT kā kamāl achchhā hai

jis kī bachpan hī meñ shādī ho vo kiyā jaane ġharīb

ishq meñ hijr hai behtar ki visāl achchhā hai

aur to kuchh bhī nahīñ hazrat-e-'māchis' lekin

aap meñ aag lagāne kā kamāl achchhā hai

jab ki mazi se bahut past bhi haal achchha hai

phir to mustaqbil-e-rangin ka KHayal achchha hai

jis ka jo zauq ho us ko wahi aata hai pasand

main to kahta hun ki donon ka KHayal achchha hai

kuchh election mein to kuchh nam pe 'ghaalib' ke kamao

ek barahman ne kaha hai ki ye sal achchha hai

chaara-gar kahte hain bas maut ki baqi hai kasar

aur har tarah se bimar ka haal achchha hai

nahin malum agar sanp ka mantar to na phans

hath us sanp ki banbi mein na Dal achchha hai

jo bhi haarega wahi galiyan dega us ko

jis barahman ne kaha hai ki ye sal achchha hai

DhunDiye KHair se ja kar koi moTi sasural

hath jo muft mein aae to wo mal achchha hai

bain hi bain guzarte raho is wadi se

na haram achchha hai bilkul na halal achchha hai

ek hum the jo siyasat mein kama pae na kuchh

warna mazi ke faqiron ka bhi haal achchha hai

jitne hain dahr mein hathon ki safai ke kamal

sab se ai dost girah-kaT ka kamal achchha hai

jis ki bachpan hi mein shadi ho wo kiya jaane gharib

ishq mein hijr hai behtar ki visal achchha hai

aur to kuchh bhi nahin hazrat-e-'machis' lekin

aap mein aag lagane ka kamal achchha hai
