mohabbat banTne nikle the patthar le ke ghar lauTe
bahut se dasht chhane aur ho ke dar-ba-dar lauTe
hamari soch se dil tak baDi lambi masafat hai
chalo ab dekhte hain ki kahan se ye nazar lauTe
jahan mein masnaden ab be-hunar aabaad karte hain
jabhi to le ke aankhen nam sabhi ahl-e-hunar lauTe
liye hum kanch ka dil bar-sar-e-bazar baiThe hain
the patthar jinki jholi KHush wahi to bazigar lauTe
wo jhuTe log jo mil kar hamin ko jhuT kar denge
unhin ko aazma kar hum bhi apni rahguzar lauTe
qarar-e-jaan banane ko bahane aur kya kam the
bhala 'mumtaz' le ke kaun yun zaKHmi jigar lauTe
Ghazal
Mohabbat banTne nikle the patthar le ke ghar lauTe
