ye aur baat ki sohbat mein hain aminon ki

ye aur baat ki sohbat mein hain aminon ki
magar wo aabru rakhte nahin hasinon ki
hamare sinon mein mahfuz hai khuda ka kalam
koi lagae na qimat hamare sinon ki


nikal pade hain jo ab na-khuda ko chhode hue
khabar to le koi un dubte safinon ki
jahan pe sirf mohabbat parast rahte hain
wahan pe koi bhi qimat nahin zaminon ki


zara si baat bigadti hai ruth jati hain
kharab lagti hai 'adat ye mah-jabinon ki
khuda ke khauf se hat kar kahin jo aur bahen
nahin hai qadr un ashkon ke aabginon ki


hamara nam bhi aaega us mein ai 'minhaj'
kabhi banegi jo fehrist nam-chinon ki
