ishq ko ek nazar kafi hai
aagahi pahle se darkar nahin

dosti barson ki ham-raazi hai
jaldi-bazi ka ye bazar nahin

ho bhi sakti hai kabhi wo haalat
go ho muddat ka khulus aur niyaz

ek lamha mein banati hai jo gat
pyari surat kabhi pyari aawaz

ghaur-o-fikr is ke sada hain ham-dast
milne-julne se hai paida hoti

garm-joshi ki hai mai se sarmast
dosti hai meri dekhi bhaali

aql ke us mein karishme dekho
kuchh bigadti hai kuchh ithlati hai

jab pahunch jati hai us ki tah ko
tab ba-sad fakhr ye samjhati hai

na sune aur na hargiz dekhe
doston mein ho agar aib bhi aah

chahiye yun nazar-andaz kare
ki hawa bhi nahin goya aagah

ishq mein us ki kahan hai mohlat
kuchh bhi soche sune dekhe bhaale

kya bhala samjhen wo us ki haalat
us ki mai se jo na hun matwale

us ke asrar se ho kaun aagah
be-qarari kabhi mahwiyyat hai

khub 'rasikh' ne kaha hai wallah
ishq ek zor hai kaifiyyat hai
