jis dil mein teri zulf ka sauda nahin hota
wo dil nahin hota nahin hota nahin hota

aashiq jise kahte hain wo paida nahin hota
aur hoe bhi bil-farz to mujh sa nahin hota

jo kushta-e-tegh-e-nigah-e-yar hain un par
kuchh kargar ejaz-e-masiha nahin hota

mana ki sitam karte hain mashuq magar aap
jo mujh pe rawa rakhte hain aisa nahin hota

jo mast hai saqi nigah-e-mast ka wo tu
minnat-kash-e-jam-o-mai-o-mina nahin hota

kahta hai koi shoala-e-jawwala koi barq
is dil pe guman logon ko kya kya nahin hota

zahid ho do-chaar-e-nigah-e-mast to dekhen
aaluda ba-mai kyunki musalla nahin hota

han kuchh to bayan-e-hawas-e-dil mein hai lazzat
jo lab se juda harf-e-tamanna nahin hota

taskin-e-dil-e-sokhta-e-shamma ki khatir
kis shab par-e-parwana se pankha nahin hota

dil ishq ne itna bhi na chhoda ki jo kahwen
taqsim juz-e-la-yatajazza nahin hota

de baithe ho dil 'aish' tum un logon ko jin ki
bedad ka wan bhi koi shunwa nahin hota
