ye kaarobaar bhi kab raas aayaa — Ibn

dil mein sajde kiyaa karo 'mufti'
is mein parvardigaar rahtaa hai

yuun to patthar bahut se dekhe hain
koi tum saa nazar nahin aayaa

ab to kar Daaliye vafaa us ko
vo jo vaada udhaar rahtaa hai

kaisaa jaadu hai samajh aataa nahin
niind meri khvaab saare aap ke

ik zaraa si baat pe ye munh banaanaa ruThnaa
is tarah to koi apnon se khafaa hotaa nahin

tere khvaabon ki lat lagi jab se
raat kaa intizaar rahtaa hai

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

agar itni muqaddam thi zarurat raushni ki
to phir saae se apne pyaar karnaa chaahiye thaa

ham donon kaa 'ishq mukammal honaa mushkil lagtaa hai
tu jins-e-jinnaat ki paidaa aur main beTaa aadam kaa

ik shajar aisaa mohabbat kaa lagaayaa jaae
jis kaa ham-saae ke aangan mein bhi saayaa jaae

kuchh to hote hain mohabbat mein junun ke aasaar
aur kuchh log bhi divaana banaa dete hain
