ishq mahdud nahin qissa-o-afsana tak
ishq mahdud nahin jalwa-e-jaanana tak

ishq nazzara-o-didar se aage ki hai baat
ishq chashm-o-lab-o-rukhsar se aage ki hai baat

ishq baam-o-dar-o-diwar se aage ki hai baat
ishq aagahi-o-irfan ki aayat ka nam

ishq idrak-o-tadabbur ke kamalat ka nam
ishq ehsas ka masumi-e-jazbaat ka nam

ishq tarikh mein sadiyon ki riwayat ka nam
phul se aaine se sang se ho sakta hai ishq

subh ke khilte hue rang se ho sakta hai ishq
ishq allah se asnam se ho sakta hai

ishq dil-soz-o-dil-aram se ho sakta hai
ishq sanwlati hui raat se ho sakta hai

ishq bhigi hui barsat se ho sakta hai
ishq kul arz-o-samawat se ho sakta hai

aur kul arz-o-samawat se aage bhi hai ishq
ishq malum nahin kis ko kahan tak le jae

ishq hai rahbar-e-nafs jahan tak le jae
