kya haqiqat kahun ki kya hai ishq
haq-shanason ke han khuda hai ishq

dil laga ho to ji jahan se utha
maut ka nam pyar ka hai ishq

aur tadbir ko nahin kuchh dakhl
ishq ke dard ki dawa hai ishq

kya dubaya muhit mein gham ke
hum ne jaana tha aashna hai ishq

ishq se ja nahin koi khali
dil se le arsh tak bhara hai ishq

kohkan kya pahad katega
parde mein zor-azma hai ishq

ishq hai ishq karne walon ko
kaisa kaisa baham kiya hai ishq

kaun maqsad ko ishq bin pahuncha
aarzu ishq muddaa hai ishq

'mir' marna pade hai khuban par
ishq mat kar ki bad bala hai ishq
