la-makan lag aashiqan ke ishq ka parwaz hai
aasman aur arsh-o-kursi un ka pa-andaz hai

ek tafakkur un ka afzal az-taat-e-hafta-o-sal
sab khalaiq par unhon ka is sabab eazaz hai

aaliman aur aabidan ki bandagi sab qil-o-qal
aashiqan ke dil mein raushan jo ki makhfi raaz hai

mutu-qabla-an-tamutu haal hai ushshaq ka
aaliman ke gosh mein us harf ka aawaz hai

bul-hawas ko shama se dil bandhna mumkin nahin
aashiqan ka is sabab zahid sada aghmaz hai

khair o shar sun aashiqan be-dil nahin aur bujhte
ranj o rahat ishq mein mashuq ka sab naz hai

tal gae is marke sun kai hazaran ai 'alim'
jo raha so nam us ka aashiq-e-jaan-baz hai
