hai muamma ya kahani ishq hai
aaine se khud-kalami ishq hai

hanste hanste ro pade phir hans diye
kya yahi aadat purani ishq hai

ek tamanna ne jagaya tha junun
us junun ki pasbani ishq hai

zikr us ka na-mukammal hai magar
khamoshi ki tarjumani ishq hai

maut ke sab zawiye padhti hui
hum sabhi ki zindagani ishq hai

us ki jab shirin-bayani ko suna
man baithe jawedani ishq hai
