ishq ab mel se be-mel hua jata hai
mera gham un ke liye khel hua jata hai

mashghala ashk-fishani ka tha pahle bhi magar
ab to ye shaghl dhaka-pel hua jata hai

husn aur ishq ka jhagda bhi koi jhagda hai
wo ladai hui ye mel hua jata hai

husn yun khush hai ki hai tisre bachche ka nuzul
ishq yun khush hai ki pachmel hua jata hai

gundh ke phulon mein tere sarw se qad par gesu
khushnuma phuli-phali bel hua jata hai

hukm begam ke chala karte hain jelar ki tarah
ab mera ghar bhi mujhe jail hua jata hai

is qadar sarf ilahi mere khun-e-dil ka
ab mohabbat ka bajat fail hua jata hai

kahin bujh sakta hai 'machis' ye mohabbat ka charagh
jism ka khun hi jab tel hua jata hai
