bahr mein daere to honge hi
pyar mein waswase to honge hi

khwab tha us ki shokh aankhon ka
khwab ke zawiye to honge hi

roz tum phul-ban mein jate the
laziman gul khile to honge hi

ye koi ishq to nahin hai huzur
job hai masale to honge hi

dil hai viran to rah nahin sakta
dard is mein base to honge hi

ye mohabbat hai dosti to nahin
mazarat shukriye tau honge hi

jab mohabbat pe baat ki tum ne
log tum par hanse to honge hi

bhagte waqt ke kai lamhe
camere se khinche to honge hi

aap gadi badhaiye apni
road par hadse to honge hi

sach zara hausle se suniyega
lafz kuchh khurdure to honge hi

aap jab dekhte hain aaina
aaine dekhte to honge hi

ho na ho is ghazal mein kaifiyyat
munfarid qafiye to honge hi

taza-kari ki mashq jari hai
sher mein chutkule to honge hi
