malahat jawani tabassum ishaara
inhin kafiron ne to shaer ko mara

mohabbat bhi zalim ajab bebasi hai
na wo hi hamare na dil hi hamara

main tinkon ka daman pakadta nahin hun
mohabbat mein duba to kaisa sahaara

mujhe sath-e-gham par abhi tairne do
main duba to duba taghazzul ka tara

jo bismil bana de wo qatil tabassum
jo qatil bana de wo dilkash nazara

mohabbat ka bhi khel nazuk hai kitna
nazar mil gai aap jite main haara

tumhaari umangon ka kya puchhna hai
bahaaren tumhaari gulistan tumhaara

tumhaara 'nushur' aur tumhaara takhayyul
mohabbat tumhaari to shaer tumhaara
