mohabbat rog hai jaañ kā nahīñ is kī davā koī
agar be-maut hai marnā to phir ham duur hī achchhe
zamāna roktā hai jab baġhāvat jaag uThtī hai
miTā detī hai har had ko to phir majbūr hī achchhe
damaktā hijr āñkhoñ se hai ik mahtāb kī mānind
musalsal aag meñ jalnā hai to be-nūr hī achchhe
diloñ ke qaid-ḳhānoñ meñ umañgeñ faḌfaḌātī haiñ
bahut mushkil milan hai phir to ham mahsūr hī achchhe
duhā.ī laakh de lo par kahīñ miltā nahīñ bosa
bagūlā bebasī kā hai to ham maġhrūr hī achchhe
