sath ho koi to kuchh taskin si pata hun main
tere aage ja ke tanha aur ghabraata hun main

samne aate hi un ke chup sa ho jata hun main
jaise khud apni tamannaon se sharmata hun main

ek musalsal zabt hi ka nam shayad ishq hai
ab to nazron tak ko aankhon hi mein pi jata hun main

dekh sakte kash tum meri tamannaon ka jashn
jab unhen jhuti ummiden de ke bahlata hun

mere pairon ko hai kuchh rondi hui rahon se bair
jis taraf koi nahin jata udhar jata hun main

ek nigah-e-lutf aate hi wahi hai haal-e-dil
sab purane tajrabon ko bhul sa jata hun main

ye mere ashk-e-musalsal bas musalsal ashk hain
kaun kahta hai tumhaara nam dohraata hun main

sham-e-gham kya kya tasawwur ki hain chira-dastiyan
han tumhein bhi tum se bin puchhe utha lata hun main

karobar-e-ishq mein duniya ki jhuti maslahat
mujh ko samjhate hain wo aur dil ko samjhata hun main

sath tere zindagi ka wo tasawwur mein safar
jaise phulon par qadam rakhta chala jata hun main

ranj-e-insan ki haqiqat mein to samjha hun yahi
aaj duniya mein mohabbat ki kami pata hun main

mere aansu mein khushbu mere har nale mein rag
ab to har ek sans mein shamil tumhein pata hun main

ab tamanna be-sada hai ab nigahen be-payam
zindagi ek farz hai jita chala jata hun main

hae 'mulla' kab mili khamoshi-e-ulfat ki dad
koi ab kahta hai kuchh un se to yaad aata hun main
