Wafa jab maslehat ki shawl orhey
Sard raat ka roop dharey
Dil ke aangan main utarti hey
To palkon par sitaaron ki dhanak muskaaney lagti hey
Kabhi khwabon ke an-chuey heowlon sey bhi
An-dekhi si anjaani si khushboo aaney lagti hey
Kisi ke sang beetey, an-ginat lamhon ki zangeerain
Achanak zehan main jab gungunaati hain
Nafas ke taar main sannata sa yakdam cheekh uthta hey
To yun mehsoos hota hey
Hawayen aa ker sargoshi karti hain
"Mohabbat ka tumhain idraak ab to ho gaya ho ga?"
Ye jo bhi zakhm deti hey, kabhi seeney naheen deti
Mohabbat rooth jaaye to, kabhi jeeney naheen deti..
