ishq shabnam nahin sharara hai
raaz ye mujh pe aashkara hai

ek karam ki nigah kar dije
umr-bhar ka sitam gawara hai

raqs mein hain jo saghar-o-mina
kis ki nazron ka ye ishaara hai

aisi manzil pe aa gaya hun dost
tere gham ka faqat sahaara hai

laut aae hain yar ke dar se
waqt ne jab hamein pukara hai

dil na tute to zarra-e-nachiz
kimiya hai jo para para hai

jam-e-rangin mein un ka aks-e-jamal
ya shafaq mein koi sitara hai

naw takra chuki hai tufan se
apna murshid hi ab sahaara hai

ishq karna hai mat kha jaana
us mein jita hua bhi haara hai

apne 'darshan' pe ek nigah-e-karam
ki gham-e-zindagi ka mara hai
