ishq gar donon jahan mein kaamran hota nahin
ye zamin hoti nahin ye aasman hota nahin

jo bhatak jata hai manzil se wufur-e-shauq mein
dar-haqiqat wo hamara karwan hota nahin

ishq kahte hain jise ek aatish-e-khamosh hai
dil hi dil mein jo sulagti hai dhuan hota nahin

shama par kis shan se gir kar patange ne kaha
ishq mein andesha-e-sud-o-ziyan hota nahin

khauf-e-roz-e-hashr hai us ko na kuchh fikr-e-jaza
zindagi mein jis ko marne ka guman hota nahin

zindagi mein har qadam par thokaren khain magar
dil ke aaine pe aks-e-gham ayan hota nahin

'dard' mere ishq ne un ko numayan kar diya
warna duniya mein kahin nam-o-nishan hota nahin
