ishq kyun ruswa hua apna sar-e-rahe gahe
aa isi tarah jo mil jaiye gahe gahe

be-rukhi ahl-e-mohabbat se rawa tum ko nahin
sadqa-e-husn sahi mujh pe nigahe gahe

dil ko mizhgan ka tasawwur hi bahut kaam aaya
dubte ko hai sahaara par-e-kahe gahe

aarzu hai ki tere kuche se hum bhi guzren
pairahan chaak-ba-in haal-e-tabahe gahe

zindagi khatm hui bas isi hasrat mein ki wo
mujh ko pas apne bulae mujhe chahe gahe

dil mein taswir tumhaari na utarun to kaho
parda-e-rukh bhi uthe jalwa-panahe gahe

'barq'-e-gham-dida tera mustahiq-e-lutf hua
sunte hain arsh ko ja leti hai aahe gahe
