mohabbaten jab hisab mangengi nafraton ka jawaz hoga
wo jis safar mein saubaten hon wo aabgina-nawaz hoga

kuchh aisi mushkil si aa padi hai ki chehra aaina ban gaya hai
mujhe ye dhadka hai dil mein rakkha ayan wo muddat ka raaz hoga

tilism kahiye ki ya tamanna ragon mein para lahu bana hai
lahu jo tapkega ashk ban kar nazar se ulfat ka saz hoga

ye manzaron mein jo aa gae hain kisi ilaqe ke sabz tair
ye hijraton ka hasin mausam farogh-e-gulshan ba-naz hoga

akele-pan ki 'dua' ye shiddat hi mar dale kahin na mujh ko
wo aaega to ye mera hona bhi us ke sarf-e-niyaz hoga
