dub kar bhi na pada farq giran-jaani mein
main hun patthar ki tarah bahte hue pani mein

ye mohabbat to bahut baad ka qissa hai miyan
main ne us hath ko pakda tha pareshani mein

raftagan tum ne abas dhong rachaya warna
ishq ko dakhl nahin maut ki arzani mein

ye mohabbat bhi wilayat ki tarah rakhti hai
haalat-e-haal mein ye haalat-e-hairani mein

is liye jal ke kabhi rakh nahin hota dil
ye kabhi aag mein hota hai kabhi pani mein

ek mohabbat hi pe mauquf nahin hai 'tabish'
kuchh bade faisle ho jate hain nadani mein
