mahw-e-hairat hun ki wo centre tha kitna ba-kamal
ishq ke bare mein puchha jis ne parche mein sawal
aaise hi centre agar do chaar paida ho gae
dekhna is mulk mein fankar paida ho gae
aam hogi aashiqi college ke arz-o-tul mein
laila o majnun nazar aaenge ab school mein
ishq ke aadab ladkon ko sikhae jaenge
ghair-ashiq jo hain wo aashiq banae jaenge
aashiqon ko ilm mein perfect samjha jaega
ishq ek compulsory subject samjha jaega
imtihan hoga to puchhe jaenge aaise sawal
apni mahbuba ke bare mein kuchh izhaar-e-khayal
ishq ek science hai ya art samjha kar likho
ya ye donon ishq ka hain part samjha kar likho
aaj apne mulk mein aashiq hain kitne fisadi
muntahi in mein hain kitne aur kitne mubtadi
kya talluq tibb-e-yunani ko hai ruman se
compare farhad o majnun ko karo luqman se
ishq kitne qism ka hota hai likho ba-wasuq
fi zamana kya hain aashiq ke faraez aur huquq
ek tahqiqi maqala likh ke samjhao ye baat
shakh-e-ahu par hi kyun rahti hai aashiq ki baraat
kuchh misalen de ke samjhao ye qaul-e-mustanad
ishq awwal dar-dil-e-mashuq paida mi shawad
sar ko kya nisbat hai sang-e-astan-e-yar se
tum ne sar phoda kabhi mashuq ki diwar se
kya sakun milta hai dil ko aah-e-shoala-bar se
garm nale arsh par jate hain kis raftar se
apne andaze se tul-e-sham-e-tanhai batao
sirf takhminan shab-e-hijran ki lambai batao
india ka ek naqsha apni copy par banao
aur phir us mein hudud-e-kucha-e-jaanan dikhao
wasl ki darkhwast par kis ki sifarish chahiye
ishq ke paude ko kitne inch barish chahiye
apni mahbuba ko ek darkhwast english mein likho
us se ye puchho jawab-e-arzu yes hai ki no
kaun se aale se dekhen husn-e-jaanana likho
husn ki miqdar jo nape wo paimana likho
mother-e-laila ne to laila na byahi qais ko
tum agar laila ki man hote to kya karte likho
ek aashiq tin din mein chalta hai unnis mil
tin aashiq kitne din mein jaenge adtis mil
aap kar sakte hain in mein se koi bara sawal
bad-khati ke panch number hain rahe ye bhi khayal
