A nazm by Tasleem Fazli. Mehdi Hasan has rendered the 
same for the Pakistani film 'Afshan'. I have included the film 
geet also for your reading pleasure.

Khudaa kare ki muhabbat me.n vo muqaam aaye
kisii kaa naam luu.N lab pe tumhaaraa naam aaye

tumhaaraa pyaar mere gesuuo.n kii ulajhan ho
tumhaare vaaste dil kaa chiraaG roshan ho
sahar nazar se mile zulf leke shaam aaye

merii Khayaalo.n kii tasviir huu-ba-huu ho tum
mere huzuur nigaaho.n kii aarazuu ho tum
isii tarah se nigaah uThe salaam aaye

jahaa.N talak ye ha.Nsii guna-gunaatii raat chale
nazar nazar se mile, dil se dil kii baat chale
hamaare dil kii ta.Dap kuchh to apane kaam aaye


Mehdi Hasan's version for the film Afshan:

Khudaa kare ki muhabbat me.n ye muqaam aaye 
kisii kaa naam luu.N lab pe tumhaaraa naam aaye 

kuchh is tarah se jiiye zi.ndagii basar na hu_ii 
tumhaare baad kisii raat kii sahar na hu_ii
sahar nazar se mile zulf leke shaam aaye 

Khud apane ghar me.n vo mehamaan ban ke aaye.N hai.n 
sitam to ye hai ki a.njaan ban ke aaye.N hai.n 
hamaare dil kii ta.Dap aaj kuchh to kaam aaye 

vahii hai saaz, vahii giit, vahii ma.nzar 
har ek chiiz vahii hai nahii.n ho tum magar 
isii tarah se nigaahe.n uThe salaam aaye
