be-dam hue yun ho ke giraftar-e-mohabbat
kahta hai masiha ki hun bimar-e-mohabbat

rota hai shab-e-hijr mein dil khun ke aansu
milta nahin koi use gham-khwar-e-mohabbat

in husn ki galiyon mein kharidar bahut hain
lagta hai shab-o-roz ye bazar-e-mohabbat

alfaz hain khanjar to bujha zahr mein lahja
aise mein bhala kaise ho iqrar-e-mohabbat

ab ishq hai ruswa to bigadta hai tera kya
be-kar mein karta hai tu paikar-e-mohabbat

mit jaenge hum un ko khabar tak nahin hogi
ye soch ke karna pada izhaar-e-mohabbat

ab dekhen wahan kaun lagae nai boli
aate hain jahan roz kharidar-e-mohabbat

tanhai mein socha tujhe jaana tujhe samjha
phir khulne lage hum pe bhi asrar-e-mohabbat

'tishna' se karen log mohabbat ki jo baaten
kaise main bataun ki hun be-zar-e-mohabbat
