mohabbat ko kahte ho barti bhi thi
chalo jao baitho kabhi ki bhi thi

bade tum hamare khabar-gir-haal
khabar bhi hui thi khabar li bhi thi

saba ne wahan ja ke kya kah diya
meri baat kam-bakht samjhi bhi thi

gila kyun mere tark-e-taslim ka
kabhi tum ne talwar khinchi bhi thi

dilon mein safai ke jauhar kahan
jo dekha to pani mein mitti bhi thi

buton ke liye jaan 'muztar' ne di
yahi us ke malik ki marzi bhi thi
