mujh se pahalii sii mohabbat, mere mahabuub, na maa.Ng
mai.n ne samajhaa thaa ke tuu hai to daraKshaa.N hai hayaat
teraa Gam hai to Gam-e-dahar kaa jhaga.Daa kyaa hai
terii suurat se hai aalam me.n bahaaro.n ko sabaat
terii aa.Nkho.n ke sivaa duniyaa me.n rakkhaa kyaa hai
tuu jo mil jaae to taqadiir niguu.N ho jaae

aur bhii dukh hai.n zamaane me.n mohabbat ke sivaa

reshm-o-atalas-o-kamaKwaabme.n bunawaae hue
jaa-ba-jaa bikate hue kuuchaa-o-baazaar me.n jism
Kaak me.n litha.De hue Kuun me.n nahalaae hue
jism nikale hue amaraaz ke tannuuro.n se
piip bahatii huii galate hue naasuuro.n se
lauT jaatii hai udhar ko bhii nazar kyaa kiije
ab bhii dilakash hai teraa husn, magar kyaa kiije
