mohabbat karne walon ko mohabbat aazmati hai
kisi ki aan jati hai kisi ki jaan jati hai

takhayyul ki gul-afshani ghazal ka nam pati hai
kisi ki yaad se zakhmon ki duniya muskuraati hai

wufur-e-gham se sham-e-zindagani thartharaati hai
mohabbat ki har ek dhadkan wafa ko aazmati hai

kisi ke aariz-o-lab ki mili hai raushni jab se
bahaar-e-zindagi ranginiyon mein dub jati hai

mere bazu pe zulfon ki bhari barsat hoti thi
wo saat yaad aati hai wo saat yaad aati hai

wo rang-o-nur ki mahfil bahaaron ki wo ranai
mohabbat ke wafa-parwar fasanon ko sunati hai

kisi ki yaad mein gum ho gai hai raushni dil ki
jo gahe-gahe rah-e-ashk-e-gham ko jagmagati hai

tumhaari zulf ka saya jo mil jae to ruk jaun
thaka-manda hua hun dhup gham ki chilchilati hai

'zamir' anjam-e-ulfat par laraz jata hai dil aksar
hansi aati hai jis dam aankh meri dabdabaati hai
