Ishq ki shiddat se mohabbat hai,
Lekin izhaar se hai dar mohabbat ka,
Teri muskurahat ka hijaab bana rakha hai,
Dil ki baatein chhupi hain, kahin kahin tera naam hai.

Har jazbaat mein tera khayaal hai,
Par teri taraf aankhen uthane se hai dar,
Kaise kah dein hum tujhse apni dil ki baat,
Tera naqsh-e-qadam hai dil mein, lekin bayan karna hai asaan nahi.

Teri kami hai, meri zindagi mein,
Par kya kahen, kehne se hai darr mohabbat ka,
Shayari mein chhupa hai mera pyaar,
Mein likhta hun, lekin samajhna nahi saka.

Yun tanhayi mein teri yaad aati hai,
Teri muskurahat hai, meri umeed ka sahara,
Par kaise keh dun tujhse, ke bas tum hi to ho,
Meri zindagi ki raahein, meri khwaishon ka sahara.

Dil haar gaya hai, teri aankhon mein kho gaya hai,
Par kehne ki himmat nahi hai, rooh darta hai,
Tere baghair adhuri hai yeh kahani,
Angootha chhum kar likhe gaye alfaaz, lafzoon ka sahara.

Teri deewangi hai, meri zindagi ki pehchan,
Par izhaar se hai darr, yeh dil sahiba,
Janeman, kaise kahun tujhse, ke bas tere bin adhuri hai duniya,
Shayari ki zubaan se keh dein tujhse, meri mohabbat ki kahaani.

Darr hai izhaar karne se mohabbat ka,
Shiddat se hai tumhein chahne ka asar,
Ek din hogi yeh dil ki baat ka izhaar,
Lekin abhi tak hai dariya gehra mohabbat ka paar.
