ho gae raam jo tum ghair se a jaan-e-jahaan — Kalb

chaalis jaam pi ke diyaa ek jaam-e-mai
saaqi ne khuub raah nikaali zakaat ki

ik baat par qaraar unhein raat-bhar nahin
do do pahar jo haan hai to do do pahar nahin

agar un ko puujaa to kyaa kufr hogaa
ki but bhi khudaa ke banaae hue hain

is qadar mahv na hon aap khud-aaraai mein
daagh lag jaae na aaina-e-yaktaai mein

tiri taarif ho ai sahib-e-ausaaf kyaa mumkin
zabaanon se dahaanon se takallum se bayaanon se

phir na baaqi rahe ghubaar kabhi
holi khelo jo khaaksaaron mein

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jaan insaan ki lene vaalon mein
ek hai maut dusraa hai ishq

kisi se ishq apnaa kyaa chhupaaein
mohabbat Tapki paDti hai nazar se

hazaaron ghar hue hain is se viraan
rahe aabaad sarkaar-e-mohabbat

sunaa haal-e-dil-e-'majruh' shab ko
koi hasrat si hasrat thi bayaan mein
