Mohbbat Kya Hai?

Mohbbat Ek Khushboo Hai, Pyar Ka Tarazoo hai,
Mohbbat Ek Khazana hai, Dilbara Afsana hai.
Mohbbat Ek Shairy hai, Yaado Ki Diary hai,
Mohbbat Ek Bandagi hai, Aashiq Ki Zindagi hai

Mohbbat Dilo Ka Ekrar hai, Aatma Ki Pukar hai,
Mohbbat Jeene ki Chaahat hai, Diwangi Ki Darkhwast hai.
Mohbbat Mano ka Milan hai, Khwabo Ka Tallab hai,
Mohbbat Prem Ka Ankoor hai, Dikhne me Meetha par Khatta Angoor Hai.

Mohbbat Dhadkano Ki Aawaz hai, Madhur Si Saaz hai,
Mohbbat Milan Ka Ekrar hai, Judaai Ka Bukhaar hai.
Mohbbat Jigar Ki Muraad hai, Khwabo Ki Bharat hai,
Mohbbat Jazbaato Ka Mela hai, Pyar Ka Silsila hai.

Doobte Hue Ka Saahil hai, Registaan Ka Zil hai,
Gulsan-E-Mehfil hai, Meetha-sa-vaar par bada Kaatil hai.
Musibato Ki Dhaal hai, Sulgati Hui Mashaal hai,
Swapno Ki Jaal hai, Dooniyawalo Ke Liye Misaal hai.
