ishq ka bhi qabil hota hai
dard dil ka kafil hota hai

yaad aaya na kar namazon mein
mera sajda tawil hota hai

be-wafaon ke zikr mein tera
tazkira bar-sabil hota hai

arsa-e-zist tum zara socho
hae kitna tawil hota hai

ai shab-e-gham har ek pal tera
mujh ko sadiyan masil hota hai

ashk jo ishq ne bahaya wo
aashiqon ka wakil hota hai

tanha be-chaara sa ye mera dil
tere bin ab alil hota hai
