mohabbat ho to barq-e-jism-o-jaan ho
wo aatish kya ki sine mein nihan ho

nahin hua aur phir kahne ko yahan ho
harif-e-bad-guman ke hum guman ho

tahayyur-e-fart shauq-e-did se hun
wahin mujh ko bhi dekho tum jahan ho

suni jati ho jab mahshar mein rudad
to apni khatm kyunkar dastan ho

wo mustaghni sahi par dil gaya hai
jo phir ho to unhin par kuchh guman ho

jo sach ho wada-e-didar un ka
to baaton mein qayamat kyun ayan ho

mujhe sar phodne mein uzr kya hai
magar un ka hi hi sang-e-astan ho

tumhein wo parda yahan hai parda-dari
mere dil mein nahin to phir kahan ho

ruka jata hai dam-e-sina mein kya kya
gale par kash khanjar sa rawan ho

chhupae hum se kya kya raaz apne
agar koi hamara raaz-dan ho

rahe kyun talkhi-e-farhad ka zikr
agar shirin ki shirin dastan ho

zulekha par na ho kyun nazish-e-ishq
ki jab yusuf mata-e-karwan ho

adu khush khush hai kuchh kah kar suna hai
na manunga kabhi tum be-dahan ho

mila hai baithe rahne ka sahaara
jahan ho aur tumhaara aastan ho

usi mein faisla samjha hun dil ka
kahan tak dekhiye zabt-e-fughan ho

yahan baithe ho par kuchh ukhde ukhde
nazar milti nahin dil se kahan hun

sarapa soz hai ulfat mein 'anwar'
ajab kya hai agar aatish-zaban ho
