ham bhi ab apni mohabbat se uThaate hain haath — Mirza Asman Jah Anjum

mohabbat is liye zaahir nahin ki
ki tum ko e'tibaar aae na aae

naqsh hoti jaati hain laakhon buton ki suratein
kyaa ye dil bhi khitta-e-hindostaan ho jaaegaa

teri marzi gar isi mein hai ki ho didaar-e-aam
ham ne aankhon par qadam saare zamaane ke liye

shab-e-furqat hai Thaharte nahin shoale dil mein
taara TuuTaa ki miri aankh se aansu TuuTaa

misaal-e-charkh rahaa aasmaan sar-gardaan
par aaj tak na khulaa ye ki justuju kyaa hai

bataa tu dil ke bachaane ki koi raah bhi hai
tiri nigaah ki naavak-fagan panaah bhi hai

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

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

mohabbat baanTanaa sikho mohabbat hai ataa rab ki
mohabbat baanTne vaale tavil-ul-umr hote hain

gilaa bhi tujh se bahut hai magar mohabbat bhi
vo baat apni jagah hai ye baat apni jagah

ye taasir mohabbat hai ki Tapkaa
hamaaraa khuun tumhaari guftugu se

bedam ye mohabbat hai yaa koi musibat hai
jab dekhiye afsurda jab dekhiye jab maghmum
