la-makan lag aashiqan ke ishq ka parwaz hai
aasman aur arsh-o-kursi un ka pa-andaz hai
ek tafakkur un ka afzal az-taat-e-hafta-o-sal
sab KHalaiq par unhon ka is sabab eazaz hai
aaliman aur aabidan ki bandagi sab qil-o-qal
aashiqan ke dil mein raushan jo ki maKHfi raaz hai
mutu-qabla-an-tamutu haal hai ushshaq ka
aaliman ke gosh mein us harf ka aawaz hai
bul-hawas ko shama se dil bandhna mumkin nahin
aashiqan ka is sabab zahid sada aghmaz hai
KHair o shar sun aashiqan be-dil nahin aur bujhte
ranj o rahat ishq mein mashuq ka sab naz hai
Tal gae is marke sun kai hazaran ai 'alim'
jo raha so nam us ka aashiq-e-jaan-baz hai
Ghazal
La-makan lag aashiqan ke ishq ka parwaz hai
Alimullah
