achchha nahin hota kabhi bimar-e-mohabbat
goya marazul-maut hai aazar-e-mohabbat

kyon sard hai ab josh-e-kharidar-e-mohabbat
kya ho gai wo garmi-e-bazar-e-mohabbat

ma'lum hua ab ki wo thin baaten hi baaten
shokhi se shararat se tha iqrar-e-mohabbat

ya aise wo bhule ki samajhte hi nahin kuchh
ya khud mujhe aata nahin izhaar-e-mohabbat

hain ek hi dore mein bandhe shaikh-o-barahman
donon hi ki gardan mein hai zunnar-e-mohabbat

gul-daste hain zakhmon ke kanwal daghon ke dil mein
kya turfa hai aaraish-e-darbar-e-mohabbat

chitwan kahe deti hai ki ulfat hai use bhi
kya farz hai munh khol ke iqrar-e-mohabbat

lazzat wo shakar mein na maza shahd ka aisa
kuchh aur hai shirini-e-guftar-e-mohabbat

mahshar mein 'khayal' aaj karen us ka gila kya
duniya mein to karte rahe izhaar-e-mohabbat
