nind aai hi nahin hum ko na puchho kab se
aankh lagti hi nahin dil hai lagaya jab se

un ko mahbub kahen ya ki raqib ab apna
un ko bhi pyar hua jae hai apni chhab se

ashk aankhon se meri nikle musalsal lekin
us ne ek harf-e-tasalli na nikala lab se

dil sikhata hai sab aadab mohabbat ke khud
ye sabaq sikha nahin jata kisi maktab se

apni urdu to mohabbat ki zaban thi pyare
ab siyasat ne use jod diya mazhab se

main bhi to dekhun gharaz se jhuki aankhen un ki
kash aaen wo mere pas kabhi matlab se

bhid hum jaison ki rahti hai hamesha yun to
raushni hoti hai mahfil mein bas ek kaukab se

meri aankhon ke liye raushni se hai badh kar
teri zulfon ki siyahi jo hai gahri shab se

sikh nafrat ki na de ai 'sada' mazhab koi
hai usul apna kiye jao mohabbat sab se
