Ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

ai ishq na chheD aa aa ke hamein hum bhule huon ko yaad na kar
pahle hi bahut nashad hain hum tu aur hamein nashad na kar

qismat ka sitam hi kam nahin kuchh ye taza sitam ijad na kar
yun zulm na kar be-dad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
jis din se mile hain donon ka sab chain gaya aaram gaya

chehron se bahaar-e-subh gai aaankhon se farogh-e-sham gaya
hathon se KHushi ka jam chhuTa honTon se hansi ka nam gaya

ghamgin na bana nashad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

hum raaton ko uTh kar rote hain ro ro ke duaen karte hain
aaankhon mein tasawwur dil mein KHalish sar dhunte hain aahen bharte hain

ai ishq ye kaisa rog laga jite hain na zalim marte hain
ye zulm tu ai jallad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
ye rog laga hai jab se hamein ranjida hun main bimar hai wo

har waqt tapish har waqt KHalish be-KHwab hun main bedar hai wo
jine pe idhar bezar hun main marne pe udhar tayar hai wo

aur zabt kahe fariyaad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

jis din se bandha hai dhyan tera ghabrae hue se rahte hain
har waqt tasawwur kar kar ke sharmae hue se rahte hain

kumhlae hue phulon ki tarah kumhlae hue se rahte hain
pamal na kar barbaad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
bedard! zara insaf to kar is umr mein aur maghmum hai wo

phulon ki tarah nazuk hai abhi taron ki tarah masum hai wo
ye husn sitam! ye ranj ghazab! majbur hun main mazlum hai wo

mazlum pe yun be-dad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

ai ishq KHudara dekh kahin wo shoKH-e-hazin bad-nam na ho
wo mah-laqa bad-nam na ho wo zohra-jabin bad-nam na ho

namus ka us ke pas rahe wo parda-nashin bad-nam na ho
us parda-nashin ko yaad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
ummid ki jhuTi jannat ke rah rah ke na dikhla KHwab hamein

aainda ki farzi ishrat ke wadon se na kar betab hamein
kahta hai zamana jis ko KHushi aati hai nazar kamyab hamein

chhoD aisi KHushi ko yaad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

kya samjhe the aur tu kya nikla ye soch ke hi hairan hain hum
hai pahle-pahal ka tajraba aur kam-umr hain hum anjaan hain hum

ai ishq! KHudara! rahm-o-karam masum hain hum nadan hain hum
nadan hain hum nashad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
wo raaz hai ye gham aah jise pa jae koi to KHair nahin

aaankhon se jab aansu bahte hain aa jae koi to KHair nahin
zalim hai ye duniya dil ko yahan bha jae koi to KHair nahin

hai zulm magar fariyaad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

do din hi mein ahd-e-tifli ke masum zamane bhul gae
aaankhon se wo KHushiyan miT si gain lab ko wo tarane bhul gae

un pak bahishti KHwabon ke dilchasp fasane bhul gae
in KHwabon si yun aazad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
us jaan-e-haya ka bas nahin kuchh be-bas hai parae bas mein hai

be-dard dilon ko kya hai KHabar jo pyar yahan aapas mein hai
hai bebasi zahr aur pyar hai ras ye zahr chhupa is ras mein hai

kahti hai haya fariyaad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

aaankhon ko ye kya aazar hua har jazb-e-nihan par ro dena
aahang-e-tarab par jhuk jaana aawaz-e-fughan par ro dena

barbat ki sada par ro dena mutrib ke bayan par ro dena
ehsas ko gham buniyaad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
har dam abadi rahat ka saman dikhla ke hamein dil-gir na kar

lillah habab-e-ab-e-rawan par naqsh-e-baqa tahrir na kar
mayusi ke ramte baadal par ummid ke ghar tamir na kar

tamir na kar aabaad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar

ji chahta hai ek dusre ko yun aaTh pahar hum yaad karen
aaankhon mein basaen KHwabon ko aur dil mein KHayal aabaad karen

KHalwat mein bhi ho jalwat ka saman wahdat ko dui se shad karen
ye aarzuen ijad na kar

ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
duniya ka tamasha dekh liya ghamgin si hai betab si hai

ummid yahan ek wahm si hai taskin yahan ek KHwab si hai
duniya mein KHushi ka nam nahin duniya mein KHushi nayab si hai

duniya mein KHushi ko yaad na kar
ai ishq hamein barbaad na kar
