jahan mein aae na koi kami mohabbat ki
sada lagata rahunga yunhi mohabbat ki

ye dil jo bagh ki surat mahak raha hai miyan
kabhi khili thi yahan ek kali mohabbat ki

na jaane kitne hi lamhe palak pe thahr gae
kisi ne baat jo chhedi kabhi mohabbat ki

rakha hai ek hi mear har mohabbat mein
so jis kisi se bhi ki ek si mohabbat ki

tha pahli pahli mohabbat ka nashsha khub magar
kuchh aur baat hai is aakhiri mohabbat ki

ye shahr-e-dil ke makinon ko khub hai malum
har ek pe khulti nahin hai gali mohabbat ki

na mal-o-zar ki talab phir use hui koi
jise nasib hui hai pari mohabbat ki

jab aaine mein nazar aae koi aur hi shakhs
hai pahli pahli alamat yahi mohabbat ki

wahi to jaan sakega hamara haal 'aqil'
wo jis ne hijr saha ya kabhi mohabbat ki
