Athar tumne ishq kiya kuchh tum bhi kaho kya haal hua

'athar' tum ne ishq kiya kuchh tum bhi kaho kya haal hua
koi naya ehsas mila ya sab jaisa ahwal hua

ek safar hai wadi-e-jaan mein tere dard-e-hijr ke sath
tera dard-e-hijr jo baDh kar lazzat-e-kaif-e-visal hua

rah-e-wafa mein jaan dena hi pesh-rawon ka shewa tha
hum ne jab se jina sikha jina kar-e-misal hua

ishq fasana tha jab tak apne bhi bahut afsane the
ishq sadaqat hote hote kitna kam-ahwal hua

rah-e-wafa dushwar bahut thi tum kyun mere sath aae
phul sa chehra kumhlaya aur rang-e-hina pamal hua
