mohabbat ahd-o-paiman-e-wafa hai
mohabbat hadd-e-imkan-e-wafa hai

mohabbat ek kitab aisi hai jis ka
har ek unwan unwan-e-wafa hai

mohabbat phulne-phalne ki shai hai
use pamal sabza mat banao

dilon ke qafile chalte hain is par
so na-hamwar rasta mat banao

ise khilne do apne mausamon mein
bahaar-e-ahd-e-rafta mat banao

ye hai masum aur nanha parinda
use zanjir-basta mat banao

ye lahraata hua aanchal hai is ko
kisi baadal ka tukda mat banao

ye chashme ka mitha saf pani
so is pani ko gadla mat banao

ye hai aawaz mehdi aur lata ki
in aawazon ko murda mat banao

mohabbat tez dhup aur barishon mein
jo dil wale hain un ka saeban hai

mohabbat kuchh na hone par bhi 'ashfaq'
dua deti hui sadiyon ki man hai
