ye kaarobaar bhi kab raas aayaa — Ibn

dil mein sajde kiyaa karo 'mufti'
is mein parvardigaar rahtaa hai

yuun to patthar bahut se dekhe hain
koi tum saa nazar nahin aayaa

ab to kar Daaliye vafaa us ko
vo jo vaada udhaar rahtaa hai

kaisaa jaadu hai samajh aataa nahin
niind meri khvaab saare aap ke

ik zaraa si baat pe ye munh banaanaa ruThnaa
is tarah to koi apnon se khafaa hotaa nahin

tere khvaabon ki lat lagi jab se
raat kaa intizaar rahtaa hai

sabhi se jab mohabbat chaahte ho
mohabbat kyon nahin karte sabhi se

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat phuul banne par lagi thi
palaT kar phir kali kar li hai main ne

tazkira soz-e-mohabbat kaa kiyaa thaa ik baar
taa-dam-e-marg zabaan se miri chhaale na gae

urdu mein baat kijiye urdu mein boliye
haq hai zabaan kaa pyaar kaa ras is mein gholiye

ishq ki choT kaa kuchh dil pe asar ho to sahi
dard kam ho yaa ziyaada ho magar ho to sahi
