yahi hai ishq ki mushkil to mushkil aasan hai
mila hai dard wo dil ko jo rahat-e-jaan hai

teri nigah samajhti hai ya nahin dekhun
lab-e-khamosh mein koi sawal pinhan hai

murad-e-zauq kharabi ki ab bar aaegi
ki dil ki tak mein wo chashm-e-fitna-saman hai

faragh-e-hauslagi par junun ki shahid hai
wo ek chaak jo daman se ta-gareban hai

ye be-khudi hai mere aish-e-zindagi ki kafil
nigah-e-shauq abhi mahw-e-ru-e-jaanan hai

bala-kashon ki dua hai ki ai khuda na mite
jigar ka dagh ki chashm-o-charagh-e-hijran hai

hawa hai shauq-e-sukhan dil mein mauj-zan 'wahshat'
ki ham-safir mera roab sa sukhan-dan hai
