Meri tarah kisi se muhabbat usay bhi thi...

Zikr-e-shab-e-firaq se wehshat usay bhi thi...
Meri tarah kisi se muhabbat usay bhi thi...

Mujh ko bhi shauq tha naye chehroon k deed ka...
Rasta badal k chalne ki adat usay bhi thi...
Us raat dair tak wo rahaa mahv-e-guftagu...
Masruf main bhi kam na tha faraaghat usay bhi thi...
Sunata tha wo bhi sab se puraani kahaniya...
Taza rafaqaton ki zarorat usay bhi thi...
Mujh se bichhar ke sheher main ghul mil gaya wo shakhs
Halan k sheher bhar se raqabat usay bhi thi...
Wo mujh se barh k zabt ka aadi tha, jee gaya

Warna har ek saans qayamat usay bhi thi
na jaan khud ko nakam k bad-zauq Wo mana nahi
par sabeen tujh se muhabat usay bhi thi
