maine rakha hai mohabbat

In 1952 Faiz Ahmed Faiz wrote the Ghazal
raNg pairaahan kaa KHusbuu zulf lahraane kaa naam
mausam-e-gul hai tumhaare baam par aane kaa naam

which had the following lines

mujhse kahte haiN chaman waale GHariibaan-e-chaman
tum koii achchhaa saa rakh lo apne viiraane kaa naam

Javed Anwar recycled the second lines of this verse as
tum bhii kuchh achchhaa saa rakh lo apne diiwaane kaa naam in a song for Shabnam (1964)
