naadaan se ek umr rahaa mujh ko rabt-e-ishq — Mah Laqa Chanda

tiir o talvaar se baDh kar hai tiri tirchhi nigah
saikDon aashiqon kaa khuun kiye baiThi hai

garche gul ki sej ho tis par bhi uD jaati hai niind
sar rakhun qadmon pe jab tere mujhe aati hai niind

ba-juz haq ke nahin hai ghair se hargiz tavaqqo kuchh
magar duniyaa ke logon mein mujhe hai pyaar se matlab

gul ke hone ki tavaqqoa pe jiye baiThi hai
har kali jaan ko muTThi mein liye baiThi hai

kabhi sayyaad kaa khaTkaa hai kabhi khauf-e-khizaan
bulbul ab jaan hatheli pe liye baiThi hai

sang-e-rah huun ek Thokar ke liye
tis pe vo daaman sambhaal aataa hai aaj

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

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

thak gayaa hai dil-e-vahshi miraa fariyaad se bhi
ji bahaltaa nahin ai dost tiri yaad se bhi

ishq udaasi ke paighaam to laataa rahtaa hai din raat
lekin ham ko khush rahne ki aadat bahut ziyaada hai

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jaane kitne Dubne vaale saahil par bhi Duub gae
pyaare! tufaanon mein rah kar itnaa bhi ghabraanaa kyaa
