mehrbaan ham pe har ik raat hua karti thii aankh lagte hi mulaqaat hua karti thii hijr ki raat hai aur aankh men aansoo bhi nahin aise mausam men to barsaat hua karti thii

mas'ala ye nahin ki ishq hua hai ham ko mas'ala ye hai ki izhaar kiya jaana hai

KHud se bhi mil na sako itne paas mat hona ishq to karna magar devdaas mat hona dekhna chaahna phir maangna ya kho dena ye saare khel hain in men udaas mat hona

vo jispar uski rahmat ho vo daulat maangtaa hai kya mohabbat karne vaala dil mohabbat maangte hai kya tumhaara dil kahe jab bhi ujaala ban ke aa jaana kabhi ugta hua suraj izazat maangtaa hai kya

nigaahon ke taqaze chain se marne nahin dete yahaañ manzar hi aise hain ki dil bharne nahin dete humeen un se umeedein aasmaañ choone ki karte hain humeen bacchon ko apne faisley karne nahin dete

ha men bhi waqt ne patthar sifat banaa daala humeen the mom kii soorat pighalne waale log sitam to ye ki hamaari safoon men shaamil hain charaagh bujhte hi KHema badlne waale log

vo kisi ko yaad kar ke muskuraya tha udhar aur main naadaan ye samjha ki vo meraa hua

aaj phir neend ko aankhoñ se bichhadte dekha aaj phir yaad koi chot puraani aayi

vo jo KHvaab the mere zehan men na main kah sakaa na main likh sakaa ki zabaan mili to kati hui jo qalam mila to bika hua
