pani aankh mein bhar kar laya ja sakta hai
paanī aañkh meñ bhar kar laayā jā saktā hai
ab bhī jaltā shahr bachāyā jā saktā hai
ek mohabbat aur vo bhī nākām mohabbat
lekin is se kaam chalāyā jā saktā hai
dil par paanī piine aatī haiñ ummīdeñ
is chashme meñ zahr milāyā jā saktā hai
mujh gumnām se pūchhte haiñ farhād o majnūñ
ishq meñ kitnā naam kamāyā jā saktā hai
ye mahtāb ye raat kī peshānī kā ghaav
aisā zaḳhm to dil par khāyā jā saktā hai
phaTā-purānā ḳhvāb hai merā phir bhī 'tābish'
is meñ apnā-āp chhupāyā jā saktā hai
pani aankh mein bhar kar laya ja sakta hai
ab bhi jalta shahr bachaya ja sakta hai
ek mohabbat aur wo bhi nakaam mohabbat
lekin is se kaam chalaya ja sakta hai
dil par pani pine aati hain ummiden
is chashme mein zahr milaya ja sakta hai
mujh gumnam se puchhte hain farhad o majnun
ishq mein kitna nam kamaya ja sakta hai
ye mahtab ye raat ki peshani ka ghaw
aisa zaKHm to dil par khaya ja sakta hai
phaTa-purana KHwab hai mera phir bhi 'tabish'
is mein apna-ap chhupaya ja sakta hai
- Book : Ishq Abaad (kulliyat) (Pg. 351)
