Hath aae to wahi daman-e-jaanan ho jae

hath aae to wahi daman-e-jaanan ho jae
chhuT jae to wahi apna gareban ho jae

ishq ab bhi hai wo mahram-e-be-gana-numa
husn yun lakh chhupe lakh numayan ho jae

hosh-o-ghaflat se bahut dur hai kaifiyyat-e-ishq
us ki har be-KHabari manzil-e-irfan ho jae

yaad aati hai jab apni to taDap jata hun
meri hasti tera bhula hawa paiman ho jae

aankh wo hai jo teri jalwa-gah-e-naz bane
dil wahi hai jo sarapa tera arman ho jae

pak-bazan-e-mohabbat mein jo bebaki hai
husn gar us ko samajh le to pasheman ho jae

sahl ho kar hui dushwar mohabbat teri
use mushkil jo bana len to kuchh aasan ho jae

ishq phir ishq hai jis rup mein jis bhes mein ho
ishrat-e-wasl bane ya gham-e-hijran ho jae

kuchh mudawa bhi ho majruh dilon ka ai dost
marham-e-zaKHm tera jaur-pasheman ho jae

ye bhi sach hai koi ulfat mein pareshan kyun ho
ye bhi sach hai koi kyunkar na pareshan ho jae

ishq ko arz-e-tamanna mein bhi lakhon pas-o-pesh
husn ke waste inkar bhi aasan ho jae

jhilmilati hai sar-e-bazm-e-jahan sham-e-KHudi
jo ye bujh jae charagh-e-rah-e-irfan ho jae

sar-e-shorida diya dasht-o-bayaban bhi diye
ye meri KHubi-e-qismat ki wo zindan ho jae

uqda-e-ishq ajab uqda-e-mohmal hai 'firaq'
kabhi la-hal kabhi mushkil kabhi aasan ho jae
