Salam-E-Muhabbat Poem by Bano Ali

Yeh jo shauq-e-jang-o-jadal hay,
Ye junoon hay, yeh junoon hay,
Meri bhai isse tu door rah,
Yeh zawal-e-ilm-o-funoon hay,

Yeh naye zamane ki jang hay,
Ke fatah bhi ismein shikast hay,
Yeh tabahiyon ka hay rasta,
Yeh nasha hay jismein to mast hay,

Jo nashe ka itna hi shauq hay,
To muhabbaton ka ye jam hay,
Kabhi isko pee ke bahek zara,
Yehi tere rub ka payam hay,

Wuh jo utra ek kalam hay,
Jise ta abad bhi dawam hay,
Wuh muhabbaton hi ke nam hay,
Yeh payam hay, yeh salam hay.

Yeh salam-e-ishq bhi kar zara,
Zara yar ko bhi to aazma,
Ke jawab uska bhi aayega,
Zara hausla, zara hausla.
