Har adawat ki ibtida hai ishq

har adawat ki ibtida hai ishq
ki mohabbat ki intiha hai ishq

lo zuleKHa ko kab hua hai ishq
kis qadar taqat-azma hai ishq

falak o muddai o yar o ajal
sab bhale hain magar bura hai ishq

dekhiye is ka hoga kya anjam
ab KHuda se hamein hua hai ishq

ho chuka hum se kuchh jo hona tha
tu ne ye haal kya kiya hai ishq

wamiq-o-qais-o-kohkan kya the
ajal-o-afat-o-bala hai ishq

dekhna shauq-o-sharm ka shewa
husn-e-KHud-bin hai KHud-numa hai ishq

kaun jaane tha us ka nam-o-numud
meri barbaadi se bana hai ishq

dil karo KHun to kya hai dildari
jaan jati rahe to kya hai ishq

gham-zadai mein gham-faza kya kuchh
dil-ruba ya na jaan-ruba hai ishq

ba-wafa wo hain bewafa hai husn
bewafa hum hain ba-wafa hai ishq

ghamza sa ghamza gham mein karta hai
kuchh se kuchh ab to ho gaya hai ishq

kaise kaison ki us ne li hai jaan
dekhna kya hi KHush-ada hai ishq

kyun ke matam na ab wafa ka rahe
mere marte hi mar miTa hai ishq

dekhna marg-o-zist ke jhagDe
jaan-faza husn-o-jaan-guza hai ishq

waisa hi hai farishta jaisi ruh
ai 'qalaq' tera aashna hai ishq
