ishq mein har nafas ibaadat hai
mazhab-e-ishq aadamiyat hai

ek zamana raqib hai mera
jab se hasil teri rifaqat hai

zindagi nam ranj-o-gham hi sahi
phir bhi kis darja khubsurat hai

ek mohabbat bhari nazar ke siwa
aur kya ahl-e-dil ki qimat hai

chand mukhlis jahan ikattha hun
wo jagah ahl-e-dil ki jannat hai

kaun suljhae gesu-e-dauran
apni uljhan se kis ko fursat hai

ek duniya tabah kar dale
ek zarra mein aisi taqat hai

sitam-dost ho ki lutf dost
jo bhi mil jae wo ghanimat hai

un ko dekhenge be-hijab 'hafiz'
shauq-e-didar agar salamat hai
