hoti hai labon par khamoshi aankhon mein mohabbat hoti hai
jab un se nigahen milti hain us waqt ye haalat hoti hai

rangini-e-bazm-e-duniya mein aisa bhi zamana aata hai
wo dard qaza ban jata hai jis dard mein rahat hoti hai

ye tujh pe falak ne zulm kiya wo mujh se juda main un se juda
khushiyan to manao ahl-e-jahan barbaad mohabbat hoti hai

aate hain wo sair-e-gulshan ko kanton se bachae daman ko
honton pe tabassum hai un ke aankhon se shararat hoti hai

dekha hai hamari aankhon ne ye baat haqiqat hoti hai
har shakhs mehrban hota hai jab us ki inayat hoti hai

tanhai ke aalam mein aksar dil us se bahalta hai 'shewan'
tariki-e-sham-e-hijran mein gham ki bhi zarurat hoti hai
