Mohabbat ramz-e-hasti hai

mohabbat KHwab-e-gul hai
shaKH-e-dil ki suni palkon par

larazta KHwab-e-gul
jo naKHl-e-jaan ke zard-ru

girte hue patton ki
sanson mein mahakta hai

mohabbat zindagi ke sabz ufuq par
dur tak phaili hui KHushbu ki lau hai

jo kabhi dil ke darichon mein
utar kar muskuraati hai

to har-su raushni si phail jati hai
mohabbat ramz-e-hasti hai

ye aisa bhed hai jo kitne barson
balki umron ki

musalsal be-riya kawish pe khulta hai
to goya yun mohabbat

zindagi ka istiara hai
ki jis ka har bayan alfaz ki chhab

aur lahjon ka khanak se
mawara ho kar bhi

duniya-e-maafi apni KHamoshi mein rakhta hai
mohabbat KHwab-e-gul bhi hai

mohabbat ramz-e-hasti bhi
