Nazm

mohabbat pesh-qadmi karti hai
aur apni fauj mein

kisi sipahi ko bharti nahin karti
kisi tank ko apne sath nahin rakhti

koi baktar-band gaDi ya top-KHana
apni hifazat ke liye istimal nahin karti

kisi tayyare se
maidan-e-jang ka jaeza nahin leti

mohabbat pesh-qadmi karti hai
aur sari duniya ke tir

zahr mein bujha liye jate hain
sare neza-baz

ghat laga ke baiTh jate hain
sari talwaren

niyam se bahar aa jati hain
use apni Tapon tale raundne ke liye

shah-sawar tayyar ho jate hain
baadshahon ka ghussa

kali aandhi ban ke
us taraf baDhne lagta hai

apne dil pe hath rakh ke
mohabbat pesh-qadmi karti hai

aur us ka jahaz
kabhi gharq nahin hota

us ka aslaha kabhi KHatm nahin hota
mohabbat ki hamesha jari rahne wali

ye pesh-qadmi koi rok nahin pata
thak-haar ke us ke sath sath chalne lagta hai
