kitne rishtoñ kā maiñ ne bharam rakh liyā

ik ta'alluq se dāman chhuḌāte hue

kitne rishton ka main ne bharam rakh liya

ek ta'alluq se daman chhuDate hue

dil lagāne ko saarā jahāñ thā magar

sochtā kaun hai dil lagāte hue

dil lagane ko sara jahan tha magar

sochta kaun hai dil lagate hue

chupke chupke apne andar jaate haiñ

sahme sahme bāhar aanā paḌtā hai

chupke chupke apne andar jate hain

sahme sahme bahar aana paDta hai

qāfile meñ har ik fard muḳhtār hai

qāfila dekh lenā luTegā zarūr

qafile mein har ek fard muKHtar hai

qafila dekh lena luTega zarur

ye kaisī fasāhat ki samajh meñ nahīñ aatī

tahrīr-e-mohabbat zarā āsān likhā kar

ye kaisi fasahat ki samajh mein nahin aati

tahrir-e-mohabbat zara aasan likha kar
