Talne ka yun faqir nahin hai ye ishq hai

talne ka yun faqir nahin hai ye 'ishq hai
ye jo nai ghazal ki zamin hai ye 'ishq hai
duniya mein kitna husn hai mujh ko nahin pata
wallah gar zara bhi kahin hai ye 'ishq hai


main is jahan ka sab se amir aadmi hun yar
tum ne bana diya hai yaqin hai ye 'ishq hai
maghrur jis ko tu ne kaha tha wo mar chuka
qadmon mein dekh kis ki jabin hai ye 'ishq hai


ham-zad hai azal se mera ruh-e-kaenat
ye main hun dusra jo makin hai ye 'ishq hai
kal jo mila tha main hun wahi boriya-nashin
duniya tamam zer-e-nagin hai ye 'ishq hai


us shakhs ko yaqin dilaen to kis tarah
har shakhs ko agarche yaqin hai ye 'ishq hai
