ishq kya hai KHubsurat si koi afwah bas

aankh khul jae to ghar matam-kada ban jaega

main agar tumko mila sakta hun mahr-o-mah se

kuchh na tha mere pas khone ko

main apne sae mein baiTha tha kitni sadiyon se

bas tere aane ki ek afwah ka aisa asar

kabhi libas kabhi baal dekhne wale

phir is mazaq ko jamhuriyat ka nam diya

sunai deti hai sat aasman mein gunj apni

ek karwaT pe raat kya kaTti

dur jitna bhi chala jae magar

kabutaron mein ye dahshat kahan se dar aai

ek din donon ne apni haar mani ek sath

ishq ka matlab kise malum tha

phul wo rakhta gaya aur maine roka tak nahin
