Mohabbat Ka Diya Aise Bujha Tha

Mohabbat ka diya aise bujha tha,
Hawa ke dosh par rakkha hua tha,

Sitara toot kar jab bhi gira tha,
Ajab dhadka sa dil ko lag gaya tha,

Ajab wahshat thi tere aaine mein,
Jahaan har aks hi toota hua tha,

Lipat kar chaand se rone laga tha, 
Sitara toot kar darr sa gaya tha,

Use thi chaand taaron ki talab aur,
Humare paas to bas ek diya tha,

Hazaron rang the ek aarzu ke,
Magar mujh ko to us ne khud chuna tha,

Kisi ahd-e-wafa ka haath thaame,
Koi ek mod par rota raha tha,

Kisi ko dosh kya dein doobne ka,
Bhanwar jo paanw se lipta hua tha,

Ajab be-faiz thi ye bhi mohabbat,
Bahaaron mein khizaa'n ka roop sa tha,

Udhar se dhoop ko aane na dunga,
Tujhe kuchh yaad hai tu ne kaha tha,

Wahi tishna-labi aankhon mein sahra,
Wahi mizhgaa'n pe ek aansu dhara tha.!!
