hai mohabbat aisi bandhi girah jo na ek hath se khul sake

jo dil rakhte hain sine mein wo kafir ho nahin sakte

puchha jo un se chand nikalta hai kis tarah

hath se kis ne saghar paTka mausam ki be-kaifi par

Khaali na andalib ka soz-e-nafas gaya

rahbar rahzan na ban jae kahin is soch mein

nazar bacha ke jo aansu kiye the maine pak

is chheD mein bante hain hoshyar bhi diwane

husn o ishq ki lag mein aksar chheD udhar se hoti hai

wo qissa-e-dard-agin chup kar diya tha jis ne

dhaare se kabhi kashti na haTi aur sidhi ghaT par aa pahunchi

barson bhaTka kiya aur phir bhi na un tak pahuncha

kis kaam ki aisi sachchai jo toD de ummiden dil ki

jo kan laga kar sunte hain kya jaanen rumuz mohabbat ke

har ek sham kahti hai phir subh hogi
