pada hai panw mein ab silsila mohabbat ka
bura hamara hua ho bhala mohabbat ka

jamal-e-saf ki musa ko tab kab aai
jo dekhiye to hai talib khuda mohabbat ka

har ek dar pe hai gardish mein mera kasa-e-chashm
wo shah-e-husn hua ye gada mohabbat ka

na sim-o-zar ki hai hajat na kuchh hukumat ki
ugal de ke diya khun-baha mohabbat ka

kidhar se jata tha 'akhtar' ye kya hua afsos
khuda bachae hua samna mohabbat ka
